AC Asynchronous Mode for Connections

ACn Asynchronous mode for Connection n.

Normally, when a user exits a connection with the K2 key, all messages for this connection are stored in an internal CFS buffer. At the next CCn (Continue in Connection) command, all the buffered messages are displayed together on the screen.

This standard mode can be modified by the ACn command such that all messages for Connection n will be displayed on screen immediately, and are not buffered by CFS until the user returns to the connection. Messages destined for Connection n will be prefixed with the Connection Identifier (n:), so that asynchronous messages from different connections can be distinguished from one another. Asynchronous Mode can set and reset for each connection individually (ACn / NACn).

NACn No Asynchronous mode for Connection n.

Restores Normal Mode for Connection n (Buffering the asynchronous messages until the next CCn).

Standard: NAC Mode for all connections.

Connection between Asynchronous Mode and WAIT Command:

A user has opened multiple console applications through connections to different hosts. All console connections have had Asynchronous Mode set. A simple way of displaying the messages of all consoles on a single screen is to use the WAIT command.
