The Special Characters screen lets you configure the following
information:
Backspace.
This field specifies the character that, when entered, will act
like a backspace and delete the previous character from the input
data. This required character can be input in any character format.
Cancel line. This
field specifies the cancel line character. Cancel deletes the current
line. The system verifies the cancellation by printing three exclamation
marks (!!!), followed by a carriage return and
a line feed. This required character can be input in any character
format.
Type 1 End-of-record character.
This character terminates the read, but is not included in the data
returned to the program doing the read or the actual count of characters.
The end of record (EOR) character is optional.
Type 2 End-of-record characters.
When this character is configured, the read is returned with a special
status that indicates that the read was terminated by the additional
end-of-record character. The character is included in both the data
and the actual count of number of bytes returned. The terminal cursor
is not affected. The end of record (EOR) character is optional.
Up to sixteen type 2 end-of-record characters may be configured.
Subsystem break characters.
Subsystem break allows you to interrupt the execution of a local
program or subsystem command. The subsystem break character is optional.
