UTILITY PROGRAMS
A Build Auto Sign-On Message
This command lets you prepare an automatic sign-on to be sent to the host
program with the 0 option. Typically, the message will contain responses to
the standard sign-on questions provided when you first call up a host
program.
The message can be up to 60 characters, consisting of any characters that can
be entered from the keyboard. The message can include control characters.
To embed a carriage return (X'OD') in the message, press
CD.
It will be echoed
as
±,
but a carriage return will be stored.
If you enter any other control character in the message, it will also be
displayed as a
±,
but the true control code will be sent. (When you display a
message, control codes will not be shown at all.)
For example, suppose the host terminal requires responses to the following
prompts during sign-on:
USER ID?
USER
PASSWOr~D?
F' F~O('; Rt11' " 1 r'~f\I"IE?
Instead of typing in information each time you call up the host program, you
can store the responses in an auto sign-on buffer. In this case, the buffer might
contain the following information:
FT(...J-- T19 -::: X'} llJD'
>
L.UMI'"IOX -:::X'0D'>
I"IENU
-:::X' 0D'
