SET [NO]IP
TELNET: Connecting to Remote Terminals
SET [NO]IP
Defines, changes, or disables the "interrupt process" (IP) character. If you enter the defined IP
character during a TELNET session, Client-TELNET sends the TELNET IP control function to the
server instead of the actual character.
Ignored if TN3270 mode is active.
Format
SET IP char
SET NOIP
Parameter
char
When entered, this character sends the TELNET IP control function to the server. You can specify
this character in either of the following formats:
Numeric
ASCII value of the character.
String
Character string enclosed in quotes. Specify control characters by typing a caret (^)
before the character.
There is no default IP character. Define the initial IP character using the TCPWARE_TELNET_IP
logical name (in the process, job, group, or system logical name tables). To define the logical, use
one of the following formats:
•
•
$ DEFINE/PROCESS TCPWARE_TELNET_IP 25
$ DEFINE/PROCESS TCPWARE_TELNET_IP """^Y"""
Both commands set the IP character to Ctrl/Y (ASCII 25). They are equivalent.
Qualifiers
/FLUSH (default)
/NOFLUSH
With /FLUSH, Client-TELNET discards all characters currently in the server's output stream when
sending the IP control function. It uses the TELNET timing-mark option (the server does not have
to support this option for this feature to work). With /NOFLUSH, Client-TELNET sends only the
IP control function. If you omit both, the previous setting remains. The initial default is /FLUSH.
If a Server fails to respond properly to the timing-mark option, Client-TELNET can continue to
discard all output from the server. If so, use FLUSH to resume normal operation.
/SYNCH
/NOSYNCH (default)
Sends the IP command followed by the SYNCH signal.
