SWS Set Window Size for Terminal Emulation

SWS nn BS2000 terminal emulation programs under Windows are not restricted to the 24*80 display of a 9750 terminal. This command allows the size of the screen to be modified, particularly to increase the number of lines displayed. An increased number of lines is particularly useful, for instance, when displaying large file lists in CFS, or in Display mode.

A prerequisite for this is that the emulation program must be running under the TCP-IP protocol. Current TCP-IP products include those from MPS and Intrasys.

If the SWS mode is not supported by an emulation package, an error message will be displayed when attempting to enable the SWS mode.

nn Number between 16 and 60. This value determines the number of lines which the terminal emulation will display in a screen.

NSWS The default window size of 24*80 will be reinstated.

Notes:

If SWS > 46, occasionally it can happen that the bottom portion of the screen will be truncated. In this case, the screen cannot be compressed to less than 4096 bytes (CSO function: Compress Screen Output).

If SWS is given a value greater than 46 from an active CFS Connection, the Hardcopy mode (HC command) cannot be used.
