Sets the device type when the /INQUIRE qualifier is specified and the DEC_CRT characteristic is set. The SET TERMINAL command reads the current screen size from the terminal and sets the corresponding page length and page width values appropriately. The default device type is UNKNOWN. Works only on DIGITAL terminals, and not on LA36 or VT05 terminals. Some VT100 family terminals, including the VT101 and VT105, return a VT100 type response. LA38 terminals respond as LA43 terminals. NOTE The SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command works correctly on DIGITAL supplied VT100 and later terminals. Some personal computer terminal emulators may not work correctly, because they do not correctly emulate all VT100 escape sequences. VSI recommends that users who experience problems with these terminal emulators contact the terminal emulator supplier. You can include the SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command in your LOGIN.COM file to detect the terminal type automatically. If you specify /INQUIRE=OLD, OpenVMS sets the terminal window to 24 lines by 80 columns and ignores the real terminal size. (This is the behavior of the SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command prior to OpenVMS Version 6.2.) CAUTION This qualifier clears the type-ahead buffer. If the response sequence is unrecognized, no action message or error message is displayed. The /INQUIRE qualifier should be used only on DIGITAL terminals; however, the LA36 and VT05 terminals do not support this feature.
