You can include ASCII control characters in a postamble or preamble by
using the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System. For a definition of the
postamble or preamble, see Chapter 6, "Configuration Command
Reference," in the 2400 Family system manual.
You can configure the postamble or preamble to be characters from the
full or extended ASCII character sets. For example, the Field Exit code (Ü)
for 5250 terminal emulation is an extended ASCII character that is often
configured as the postamble.
Note: For help using the 5250 Field Exit code, see the appropriate TE
2000 guide.
To enter ASCII characters for a preamble or postamble
1 Decide which ASCII control character you want to set for the preamble
or postamble. Look up the control character in the "Full ASCII Table"
in Appendix B of the 2400 Family system manual and find the two-
digit hexadecimal number. For example, ETX in the Full ASCII Table
is the hexadecimal value 03.
To enter an extended ASCII character, look up the two-digit
hexadecimal number for the character in the "Trakker Antares Terminal
Font Set" in Appendix C of the 2400 Family system manual. For
example, Ü (the 5250 Field Exit code) has the hexadecimal value 9A.
2 Use the TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System to configure a
preamble or postamble. Choose Main Menu > Configuration Menu >
Terminal Menu > Preamble/Postamble.
