Explanation of NetSpool support:
  • Yes: The control code is supported.
  • Ignore: NetSpool removes the control code from the data stream and does not report an error.
  • Error: NetSpool returns an SNA sense code X'1003000'.
  1. The form feed (FF) control must occupy the first print position on a line. To put the FF control in the first position, place X'0C' after a Write Control Character, a NL control, or a CR control. The FF is printed as a space character.
  2. The NetSpool Graphic Escape exit lets you replace Graphic Escape characters with other printable characters.
