Xerox Options

The previous sections described the options available on the 5250 ALLY

that are used to assist the user in interfacing the host System to Xerox

printers. This section lists the specific options available and describes the

special modes invoked by these options. For more information about how

these modes can be used to help solve any specific problems, please refer

to the previous sections of this appendix.
Note: The Xerox options are used only when the twinax address or input

port is configured for IBM EMUL. As such, the numbers associated with

each option described below use the twinax code (06nn) instead of the

alternate host code (34nn). Xerox options are used for the alternate host

port only for diagnostic purposes.

0600 — UDK Character Translation

This option is useful only for twinax addresses receiving XDPM /XES data

streams. The 5250 ALLY’s UDK character translation option controls

whether the 5250 ALLY will perform UDK character to Escape character

translation, or whether it should let the printer do the translation.
Do not translate UDKs: This setting causes the 5250 ALLY to pass any

=UDK= character assignments to the printer and not to perform the UDK

character translation itself.
Translate UDKs: This setting causes the 5250 ALLY to perform the UDK

character translation itself instead of letting the printer do it. This is

particularly useful in resolving UDK character conflicts that can be caused

by the 5250 ALLY’s dynamic data routing. In this mode, the 5250 ALLY

will not pass the =UDK= character assignment to the printer, but will store

the UDK character and translate it to s.
To program this option:

!AGILE!0600=00; Do not translate UDKs

!AGILE!0600=01; Translate UDKs (default)

0601 — PFS Suppression

This option is useful for both XDPM and XPPM data streams. The PFS

suppression option allows the user to control how the 5250 ALLY

suppresses PFSs for the data it receives on the twinax address.
Do not suppress PFSs: This option tells the 5250 ALLY not to suppress

PFSs for the data stream received on the twinax address. This option gives

the host System full control over document formatting.
