Requesting a UTS MATIP Screen Object

The XML to request a UTS MATIP screen object is as follows:

<ScreenUts Columns="80" Rows="24">
        <MatipClient HostName="yourhost" Addressing2Byte="true" H1="yourH1" H2="yourH2" A1="yourA1" A2="yourA2" TA="yourTA" \>
<\ScreenUts>

Additional ScreenUts and MatipClient 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 set the TransmitMode parameter, the first line of the XML shown above would be changed from

<ScreenUts Columns="80" Rows="24">
to
<ScreenUts Columns="80" Rows="24" TransmitMode="ALL">

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.

ScreenUts XML Parameters
Parameter Value Description
TransmitMode VAR Only unprotected data is transmitted.
ALL All data is transmitted.
CHAN Only changed data is transmitted.
DestructiveSpace True The character at the cursor location is deleted when you press the space bar.
False Pressing the space bar moves the cursor to the right without deleting any characters.
UpperCaseOnly True Only uppercase characters are displayed in the viewer window. The letters that appear uppercase only are determined by the CaseLowBoundry and CaseHighBoundry. Any letters between the specified letters display only in uppercase.
False Both lowercase and uppercase characters are displayed.
CaseLowBoundry character The letter that indicates the beginning of the range of characters that should appear in uppercase when UpperCaseOnly is True. For example, if CaseLowBoundry is b and CaseHighBoundry is y, and UpperCaseOnly is True, the letters b through y will appear only in uppercase, but any characters outside of that range (in this example, a and z) will appear in both lowercase and uppercase.

The default value is a.

CaseHighBoundry character The letter that indicates the end of the range of characters that should appear in uppercase when UpperCaseOnly is True.

If ConnectionStatusRetries is 0 or blank, any value for ConnectionStatusInterval is ignored.

The default value is 0.
ConnectionStatusRetries number The number of consecutive unanswered connection status queries that should be made before the session is closed. A typical number of retries would be between 1 and 10.

If ConnectionStatusRetries is 0 or blank, the client will not make any connection status queries.

The default value is 0.
