mme gerout vfd 18/BUFPTR,o6/44,h12/TERMID zero STATPTR,COURTESY
This version of MME GEROUT can only be used by programs executing in DAC mode. It lets such a program use an input line length greater than 80 characters (for TTYs) or 320 words (for VIPs and remote computers). Once a new line length has been set, it stays in effect until a new call to MME GEROUT (44).
The buffer indicated by BUFPTR should have the following format.
zero NW,0 zero NC,0 vfd 9/1,27/NEWLLwhere NW is the number of words to be output, NC is the number of characters, and NEWLL is the new line length (in characters). The minimum line length is 4. The maximum line length is 407 for TTYs and 4095 for other devices.
With network processors, this MME GEROUT sends an operation code 36 to the processor. The response may be any of the following octal operation codes:
125 -- terminal characteristics change acknowledgement Bits 0-17 of mailbox word 2 will contain one of: 0: request accepted 1: illegal characteristics type 2: illegal parameter 113 -- line break, request unsuccessful 101 -- line disconnectIf the terminal is configured on a network processor, the DAC program may receive one of the following network processor generated status returns as a result of the status information associated with operation code 125:
004 -- request successful 200 -- illegal characteristic type 400 -- illegal parameter.
MME GEROUT (44) may cause one of the following aborts.
