The XML to request an ALC Shares screen object is as follows:
<ScreenAlc TerminalType="D1">
<SharesClient HostName="yourhost.com" LN="yourLN" IA="yourIA" TA="yourTA"\>
<\ScreenAlc>
Additional ScreenAlc and SharesClient XML parameters are shown in the tables below. Except where noted, these parameters use the following syntax:
name="value"
where name is the name of a parameter and value is a valid value for that parameter. These tags should be placed within the object being defined. For example, to add the DisplayNewLines parameter, the first line of the XML shown above would be changed from
<ScreenAlc TerminalType="D1">to
<ScreenAlc TerminalType="D1" DisplayNewLines="True">
The default values are shown in bold in the Value column or given in the Description column. If a parameter is not included in the Web page, its default value is used automatically.
| ScreenAlc XML Parameters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Value | Description |
| TerminalType | D1 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 15 x 64. |
| D2 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 23 x 64. | |
| D3 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 23 x 80. | |
| D4 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 30 x 64. | |
| D5 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 24 x 80. | |
| DisplayNewLines | True | Display the newline character at the end of each line when the viewer receives data from the host.
When this option is set to True, CR appears in the status line. |
| False | Do not display the newline character at the end of each line. | |
| ForceCaps | True | Display uppercase characters as you type, even if you type lowercase characters. |
| False | Display the text you type in both upercase and lowercase. | |
| SwordMode | True | Transmit all data from the current cursor location to the preceding start-of-message (SOM) indicator or to the upper-left corner of the viewer window, whichever is encountered first. This ensures that the viewer does not wrap from the upper-left corner of the window to the lower-right corner of the window in search of an SOM indicator. (Sword screens normally do not include an SOM indicator.) |
| False | Transmit all data from the current cursor location to the preceding SOM indicator. If the SOM indicator occurs after the cursor location, the viewer transmits all the data from the cursor to the upper-left corner of the window, as well as all data from the lower-right corner of the window to the SOM indicator. | |
| SystemDownStatus | text | Up to 12 characters of text to display on the status line when a connection with the host is not currently established. The default is Sys Unavail. |
| PushRepeatStatus | text | Up to 9 characters of text to display on the status line when there is a problem with a message received from the host. The default is Push Rpt. |
| ReenterStatus | text | Up to 9 characters of text to display on the status line when an error occurs in the transmission to the host, or when the format is not correct. The default is Reenter. |
| KeyboardLockedStatus | text | Up to 9 characters of text to display on the status line when the keyboard is locked. The default is Kybd Locked. |
| SharesClient XML Parameters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Value | Description |
| HostName | name | The domain name or IP address of the host, or one of the following values: SHA, SHB, MOM, POP, PRT, or TEST. The default is SHA.
If Network is set to Shares, HostIP (if specified) takes precedence over the HostName. |
| Network | Shares | Specify this to use a predefined host. |
| System1 | If you speficy a System1 host, the HostIP parameter is required. | |
| Amadeus | If you specify an Amadeus host, the HostIP parameter is required. | |

| LocalPort | number | The TCP port of the local terminal. The default is the configured TA value plus 3000. If multiple SDK sessions are opened with identical TAs, but different IAs or LNs, the LocalPort must be configured so they don't conflict with each other. |
| HostIP | ipaddr | The IP address of the host. If Network is System1 or Amadeus, you must specify a HostIP. If Network is Shares, this parameter is optional; if it is specified, it takes precedence over the HostName. |
| LN | hexaddr | The hexadecimal (0x01-0xFF) line number to use for this configuration. The default value is 0. |
| IA | hexaddr | The hexadecimal (0x01-0xFF) interchange address to use for this configuration. The default value is 0. |

If UseTidServer is True, any value associated with LNIATA is ignored. |
| False | The viewer uses the Terminal Address specified by the TA parameter.
If UseTidServer is False, any value associated with UserName or AddressPool is ignored. |
|
| UserName | username | The name of the user for whom to obtain a LNIATA from ID Manager. This name must match a user name in ID Manager.
If UseTidServer is False, or if a value is specified for AddressPool, any value associated with UserName is ignored. The default value is blank. |
| AddressPool | poolname | The name of the address pool from which to obtain a LNIATA. This name must match an address pool name in ID Manager.
