Keyword Description
KEYPAD Enables the use of the numeric keypad for
command entry. When PCA is in keypad mode,
you can associate keys on the numeric keypad
with PCA command definitions. Keypad mode is
enabled by default.
NOKEYPAD Disables the use of the numeric keypad for
command entry. You must disable keypad mode
when the program you are measuring requires
the numeric keypad on your terminal to be in
numeric mode.
LOG_SCREEN Causes screen images to be logged in the
log file each time the terminal screen is
updated. Screen logging occurs only if output
logging in general is enabled with the SET LOG
command.
NOLOG_SCREEN Disables the logging of screen images. NOLOG_
SCREEN is the default mode.
MOVIE Causes the terminal screen to be updated each
time a command line is read, even if the line
comes from a command file. In movie mode, you
can "play" a command file on the screen.
NOMOVIE Causes the terminal screen to be updated only
after each line of terminal input. NOMOVIE is
the default mode.
SCREEN Enables screen mode so that you see PCA output
in the form of screen displays viewed through
windows on the terminal screen. Screen mode
should be used only on VT100 or VT200 class
terminals.
NOSCREEN Disables screen mode. PCA output is then
displayed line by line. NOSCREEN is the
default mode.
SCROLL Causes the screen to be updated for every line
of output in screen mode. Thus, the output
scrolls through the output window. SCROLL is
the default mode.
NOSCROLL Causes the screen to be updated only after a
full command has completed. As a result, you
may see only the last part of the command's
output in its screen window.
2 – Description
The SET MODE command sets or cancels screen mode and various
submodes within screen mode. Keypad mode is enabled by default.
You must disable keypad mode only if your program requires the
