CHGDEVDSP (Change Device Description (Display))

CHGDEVDSP Command syntax diagram

 

Purpose

The Change Device Description (Display) (CHGDEVDSP) command changes the description of a display device.

Restriction: This command cannot be used to remove port sharing (when *CALC was specified for the TYPE and/or LINESPEED parameters of the CRTDEVDSP command). Port sharing for a display device must be removed by first deleting and then recreating its device description.

 

Required Parameters

DEVD
Specifies the name of the device description being changed.

 

Optional Parameters

PORT
Specifies, for local display stations, the port number for this display device.

For twinaxial devices: Valid values range from 0 through 7.

For devices attached to the ASCII work station controller only: Valid values range from 0 through 17 and indicate the port of the ASCII work station controller to which this display station is attached. Without the 12-port expansion feature, only ports 0 through 5 are valid. With the 12-port expansion feature, ports 6 through 17 are added.

*SAME: The value does not change.

port-number: Specify the port number. Valid values range from 0 through 17.

SWTSET
Specifies, for local twinaxial display stations, the switch setting or device address of the device. Does not apply to ASCII devices.

*SAME: The value does not change.

switch-setting: Specify a value ranging from 0 through 6.

SHRSSNNBR
Specifies the shared session number for a twinaxial display station.

Note: Displays that share session addresses can be attached only to the 6050, 2661, or 915A local work station controllers, or to the 5494 remote work station controller. This is valid only for 3486 and 3487 device types.

*SAME: The value does not change.

0: The shared session number is 0.

1: The shared session number is 1.

2: The shared session number is 2.

*SYSVAL: The value specified in the system value QKBDTYPE is used.

keyboard-language-type: Specify the 3-character country or region identifier (used for EBCDIC and ASCII) for this display station.

The following Keyboard Mapping table shows the valid identifiers and the language the identifier represents. In addition, this table shows the ASCII device groups, if applicable, for each language. The device group can be used to determine whether a language identifier can be used with an ASCII device. Valid display devices and the associated ASCII device group are shown in the following ASCII Displays and Device Groups table. These two tables can be used to determine whether an ASCII display device can be used with a specified language or if an ASCII device can be used at all.

For example, assume a user wants to create or change a 3101 display device. The ASCII Displays and Device Groups table shows that a 3101 display supports ASCII device group A. The Keyboard Mapping table shows the valid language identifiers that can be used with device group A include AGB, AGI, CAB, CAI, FAB, FAI, ITB, ITI, UKB, UKI, USB, and USI.

The following keyboards can be specified by ASCII displays only if a customizing object is also used: ALI, BGB, CSB, ESB, HNB, LTB, LVB, MKB, PKB, PLB, RMB, RUB, SKB, SQB, TRB, UAB, VNB, and YGI.

Notes

  1. The following values (*SYSVAL, AGI, ALI, BGB, BLI, CAI, CSB, DMI, FNI, FAI, HNB, IRB, ITI, JPB, MKB, NWI, PLB, PRI, RMB, RUB, SKB, SPI, SQB, SSI, SWI, TRB, USB, USI, or YGI) are also allowed when DEVCLS(*RMT) is specified and when TYPE(3277), TYPE(3278), or TYPE(3279) is specified. Otherwise, this parameter is not valid when DEVCLS(*RMT) or DEVCLS(*VRT) is specified.

  2. The following values (*SYSVAL, AGB, AGI, ALI, BGB, BLI, CAB, CAI, CLB, CSB, DMB, DMI, FAB, FAI, FNB, FNI, GNB (or GKB), HNB, ICB, ICI, IRB, ITB, ITI, JPB, KAB, MKB, NCB, NEB, NEI, NWB, PLB, PRB, PRI, RMB, RUB, SFI, SGI, SKB, SPB, SPI, SQB SSB, SSI, SWB, SWI, TKB, TRB, UKB, UKI, USB, USI, or YGI) are allowed when TYPE(3486) or TYPE(3487) are specified.

  3. This parameter is optional for the combination of DEVCLS(*LCL) and TYPE(5150).

  4. This parameter is not valid for DEVCLS(*RMT) except as stated in the first note.


DROP
Specifies, for remote display stations, whether the line is disconnected (dropped) by the system when work stations on the line are no longer in use. When several work stations are attached to the same controller, the line is disconnected only if: (1) the device description for this device specifies DROP (*YES) or DROP (*YES) is specified on the SIGNOFF command when the user signs off the device; (2) all of the other display stations connected to the controller have signed off or are not in use; and (3) all printers attached to the controller are not in use.

The value specified in the device description is overridden by a user signing off at the device if the DROP parameter is used on the SIGNOFF command.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*YES: The switched line to the controller to which this device is attached is disconnected when this device and all other attached devices are no longer in use.

*NO: The switched line to the controller is not disconnected when all of the attached devices are no longer in use.

CHRID
Specifies the character identifier (graphic character set and code page) that a work station display device supports. When a display file that was created with the CHRID DDS keyword is used with the device, the system converts data sent to and received from the device to ensure that the correct characters are shown and that the correct hexadecimal byte values are returned to the application program. More information about display file CHRID processing and the translation tables that are used to convert data sent to and received from the display are in the Application Display Programming book.

The CHRID value specified is based on the attributes of the display device. The Character Identifier Values for Display Devices table at the end of this parameter description shows CHRID values that are appropriate for each work station display keyboard style. For some display devices the KBDTYPE parameter need not be specified, but the KBDTYPE value for the equivalent keyboard can be used to determine the CHRID value for the device.

All characters included in the graphic character sets listed for the Limited CHRID values can be both entered at and displayed by the device. All characters associated with the Full CHRID values can be entered at the display station (including the use of hexadecimal representations), but the device may not be able to display all the characters.
Values shown in the Limited CHRID column should be used for 5291 and 5292 display stations; all other display stations should use the value shown in the Full CHRID column. All display stations that are to be used for OfficeVision, including 5291 and 5292 display stations, should use the value in the Full CHRID column.

Note: When using keyboard type values (KBDTYPE parameter) for devices that support both single-byte and double-byte data (JKB, KOB, RCB, and TAB), the CHRID values listed are for single-byte data only.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*KBDTYPE: The system determines the best graphic character set and code page for the keyboard specified on the KBDTYPE parameter.

*SYSVAL: The system determines the graphic character set and code page values for the command parameters from the QCHRID system values.

Element 1: Character Set

graphic-character-set: Specify the graphic character set values that match the attributes of the display device. Valid values range from 1 through 32767.

Element 2: Code Page

code-page: Specify the code page set values that match the attributes of the display device. Valid values range from 1 through 32767.

OUTQ
Specifies the qualified name of the output queue used by this user. The output queue must already exist.

*SAME: The value does not change.

The name of the output queue can be qualified by one of the following library values:

*LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

library-name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

*DEV: The output queue specified on the PRTDEV parameter is used.

output-queue-name: Specify the name of the output queue.

PRTDEV
Specifies the name of the default printer device for this workstation. If the printer file being used to create the output specifies to spool the file, the spooled file is placed on the device's output queue, which is named the same as the device.

Note: This assumes the defaults are specified on the OUTQ parameter for the printer file, job description, user profile and workstation.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*SYSVAL: The value specified in the system value QPRTDEV is used.

printer-device-name: Specify the name of a printer that is used to print the output for this user.

PRINTER
Specifies, for a remote display station, the device name of the printer associated with the display device. The device description of the work station printer named in this parameter must already have been created and must currently exist on the system. Both the printer and display device must be attached to the same controller. The relationship created by this parameter is used when a related printer (PRINT keyword in DDS) is referred to in a device file used to access this work station.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*NONE: No printer is associated with this display station.

device-name: Specify the name of the printer associated with this display station. The printer and the display station must be attached to the same controller. When printing double-byte character set (DBCS) data, specify a DBCS printer (5553 or 5583).

PRTFILE
Specifies an alternative printer device file used for processing the Print key on this display station.

*SAME: The value does not change.

The name of the device file can be qualified by one of the following library values:

*LIBL: All libraries in the job's library list are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB: The current library for the job is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the job, the QGPL library is used.

library-name: Specify the name of the library to be searched.

print-file-name: Specify the name of the printer device file that performs Print key processing for this display station.

MAXLENRU
Specifies the maximum request unit (RU) length (in bytes) allowed.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*CALC: The system calculates the value based on the type of line that is linked to the controller.

maximum-length-request-unit: Specify a value, to be used as the maximum length for incoming request units. Values 241 and 247 bytes are valid only for devices attached to an X.25 controller.

INACTTMR
Specifies an inactivity timer (time-out) value for display devices. This parameter also specifies what happens when the time-out value is exceeded, dependent on other attributes of the device:

  • For display stations attached to an ASCII work station controller, the user's job is canceled when the display station is inactive (no data is sent or received) for a period of time that exceeds the time-out value. The display station is automatically varied off and on again, resulting in a new sign-on display.

  • For display devices connected using SNA pass-through (SNPT) support, the user is informed by a message to QSYSOPR and the session is ended when the amount of time that the device is not bound to a host application exceeds the time-out value. The user must reestablish the connection and session.

  • For display devices with an application type value of *APPINIT, *DEVINIT, or *NRF, the session is ended when the device is inactive (the file opened against the device is closed and no additional requests to open files are received for the device) for a period of time that exceeds the time-out value.


Note: This timer is not used by devices allocated to a subsystem (normal interactive use) because the subsystem always has a file open for the device. The timer is used by batch jobs that open and close files for the device.

For a Post Telephone and Telegraph (*PTT) attachment, the valid values are *SEC15, *SEC30, and from 1 through 10 minutes. The default of *ATTACH maps to *SEC30 (30 seconds).

For a connection using SNA pass-through (*SNPT) device class support, the default of *ATTACH maps to *NOMAX.

For a device with an application type value of *APPINIT, *CLTSSN, *DEVINIT, or *NRF, the default of *ATTACH maps to 1 minute.

For all other attachments, valid values range from 1 through 30 minutes. The default of *ATTACH has a value of *NOMAX.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*ATTACH: This value varies by the value specified on the physical attachment (ATTACH) parameter and certain values on the application type (APPTYPE) and device class (DEVCLS) parameters.

*NOMAX: Maximum inactivity time is not tracked.

*SEC15: A 15-second time-out period is used.

*SEC30: A 30-second time-out period is used.

inactivity-timer: Specify a time-out value in minutes.

LINESPEED
Specifies, for display stations attached to the ASCII work station controller, the line speed (in bits per second) used to communicate over the interface (attachment) between the ASCII work station controller and the display station.

*SAME: The value does not change.

*TYPE: Instructs the system to use the suggested setting for this device type.

Valid line speed values are: 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 9600, 19200, and 38400 bits per second.

For modem and Post Telephone and Telegraph (PTT) attachments (ATTACH(*MODEM) or ATTACH(*PTT)), the line speed specified should be the line speed selected for the modem.

The valid line speeds for each display are as follows:
