TERMINAL TABCHAR
Authorization
Privilege Class: G
Purpose
Use TERMINAL TABCHAR to define logical tab characters for a display device.
Note: QUERY TERMINAL displays the current logical tab character.
Operands
- ON
- OFf
- char
- defines logical tab characters. ON sets the logical tab character to the system default symbol. OFF resets the logical tab character to undefined. The operand char defines the logical tab character. It may be any valid specific graphic character—that is, a character other than A through Z or 0 through 9.
Usage Notes
- When a not valid character is specified, an error message is issued to the display, and the logical tab character remains unchanged.
- When you first log on, TABCHAR is set to the system default symbol. The system default symbol is a vertical broken bar (|) unless changed in the system configuration file by the system operator. Reconnecting does not affect the TABCHAR setting.
