FDEVICECONTROL 

NM and CM callable.

Provides control operations to a printer, terminal, or a spooled device
file and is used to:

   *   Download character sets, forms, and internal or control tables
       used in printing.
   *   Control the page size, pen positioning, form and use of character
       sets, the number of copies to be printed, and all other printing
       environment characteristics.
   *   Perform control operations on a terminal, printer, or spooled
       device file.

Parameters 

filenum               16-bit signed integer by value (required) 

                      Passes the file number of the device file.

buffer                user-defined structure (required) 

                      Passes and returns device information:

                         *   Passes information to the device, such as
                             character sets, forms, vertical format
                             control (VFC) information, or device control
                             actions.

                         *   Returns device driver information.

                      (ASC) The buffer is usually a 16-bit integer by
                      reference or, for controlcode=192, where parm=1,
                      buffer is a character array containing the name of
                      the terminal type or printer type file.  For
                      controlcode=192, buffer values are defined in the
                      parm1 discussion.

length                16-bit signed integer by value (required) 

                      Passes the length of buffer:

                         *   If positive, it indicates the length in half
                             words.

                         *   If negative, it indicates the length in
                             bytes.

                      (ASC) If controlcode=192, length is normally set to
                      1 unless parm1 is set to 1 (specifying a new
                      terminal or printer type file), then the length of
                      the array is specified in the length parameter.

controlcode           16-bit signed integer by value (required) 

                      Passes the item value to be returned.  (Refer to
                      Table 4-4 .)

                      (ASC) Passes the number of the operation to be
                      performed.  Controlcode 192 is used to apply
                      control directives to a device file.

                      Codes 0 through 64 call FCONTROL. Control passes to
                      FCONTROL, and any errors returned will have
                      originated with FCONTROL.

parm1, parm2          16-bit unsigned integer by value (required) 

                      Passes the value specified in the corresponding
                      controlcode; there are several values for parm1 and
                      parm2 that define the operation in more detail.
                      (Refer to Table 4-4 .)

fserrorcode           16-bit unsigned integer by reference (required) 

                      Returns a file system error code number if an error
                      occurs.  If no error occurs, fserrorcode is set to
                      zero.  If FDEVICECONTROL detects a bounds violation
                      for fserrorcode (that is, an address outside your
                      stack area), fserrorcode is returned unchanged.

|          |          | The Hewlett-Packard 268x page printer can contain up to 32 character  |
|          |          | sets, allowing the use of a variety of fonts, styles, print           |
|          |          | rotations, and languages.  Controlcode=134 is used to download        |

|          |          | sets.                                                                 |

|          |          | To change to the secondary character set (one character at a time),   |
|          |          | set the eighth bit of the byte coding for the desired ASCII           |
|          |          | character.  The Hewlett-Packard 268x strips out this bit and prints   |
|          |          | (in the secondary character set) the character represented by the     |
|          |          | remaining 7-bit value.  To change to the secondary character set for  |
|          |          | a number of characters and over several lines, insert a CTRLN         |

|          |          | the logical page table (LPT) for the first logical page labeled as    |
|          |          | ACTIVE. The printer then continues searching the table sequentially   |
|          |          | for active pages and printing them until it has printed the last      |
|          |          | active page.  At this point, the Hewlett-Packard 268x performs a      |
|          |          | physical page eject and starts the sequence again.  There must be at  |
|          |          | least one active LPT entry while the Hewlett-Packard 268x is          |
|          |          | printing.                                                             |

|          |          | In order to maintain backward compatibility with MPE V/E, the initial |
|          |          | setting (after first FOPEN of device) is set to disable all status    |
|          |          | reporting.  Any application that requires status reporting must       |
|          |          | enable status reporting after opening the device.                     |
|          |          |                                                                       |
|          |          | Status reporting is a global device feature, either every accessor    |
|          |          | sees it or does not see it.                                           |
|          |          |                                                                       |
|          |          | When enabled, device related I/O errors (if they occur) are not       |
|          |          | returned.  The caller is notified that the device has status and      |
|          |          | another FDEVICECONTROL call has to be made to determine the status.   |
|          |          |                                                                       |
|          |          | When enabling status, the buffer returns the number of bytes occupied |
|          |          | by the largest status block returned by the device.  This number is   |
|          |          | returned in a 32-bit integer, and the count must be set to at least 4 |
|          |          | bytes; otherwise, a bounds violation occurs.                          |
|          |          |                                                                       |
|          |          | When nowait I/O is enabled, FWRITE does not notify the caller that    |
|          |          | status is available.  The application is notified that the status is  |
|          |          | available after calling IOWAIT or IODONTWAIT.                         |

|          |          | The status return can be either a wildcard (return any available      |

|          |          |              through the TTUTIL utility.  The name of the terminal    |

|          |          |              this call is issued against a device connected through   |
|          |          |              PAD, CCE (2) is returned and the terminal or printer     |

|          |          |              next read is terminated, the read data is transferred to |
|          |          |              the buffer and the read reply returns a software timeout |
|          |          |              error status with length=0.  For reads posted to devices |
|          |          |              connected through PAD, add enough time to compensate for |
|          |          |              delays caused by the network.                            |

|          |          |              Set the line speed for the device associated with        |
|          |          |              filenum by entering a new line speed, representing       |
|          |          |              characters per second, as the value of buffer.           |
|          |          |              Supported speeds are 30, 120, 240, 480, 960, and 1920    |
|          |          |              characters per second.  Input and output line speeds are |
|          |          |              the same.  If this call is issued against a device       |
|          |          |              connected through PAD, the terminal control action is    |

|          |          |              transmit the data.  Use a null character to disable the  |
