Appearance
The following properties govern the local display of applications run through the emulator. Can be used to change the appearance of the application in the Visual Studio editor.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| AlternateFormsDelimiters | If True, the emulator uses alternate form delimiters. |
| AlternateRSCharacter | Identifies the character to use as the alternate RS Character. |
| AlternateUSCharacter | Identifies the character to use as the alternate US Character. |
| CharactersPerLine | Indicates the number of characters on a line. |
| FontName | Indicates the font used for the local display. |
| FontSize | Indicates the font size used for the local display. |
| LinesPerPage | Indicates the number of lines on a screen. |
MultipageTimeout | For terminals with multiple pages, it displays the time to wait for secondary pages to load, before returning to the current page. The default value for timeout is 200 milliseconds. For multi-page applications, you can specify the required value. Note: The MultipageTimeout option is enabled only if NumberOfPages is greater than one. |
| NumberOfPages | Indicates the number of pages the terminal supports. |
Asian Language
The following properties govern the translation and interpretation of the End-of-Double (EDO) and Start-of-Double (SDO) characters that are common to Asian languages.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| AutoDeleteEDOSDO | If True, an EDO followed by an SDO is deleted automatically. |
| EDODisplayCharacter | Identifies the EDO display character. |
| EDOTransmitCharacter | Identifies the EDO transmit character. |
| OverwriteByBytes | If True, indicates that overwrite characters on the screen are by bytes rather than by characters. |
| SDODisplayCharacter | Identifies the SDO display character. |
| SDOEDODescription | Indicates whether the SDO/EDO pairs should be left, converted to bytes, or deleted. Possible values are Leave, ConvertToBytes, Delete. |
| SDOTransmitCharacter | Identifies the SDO transmit character. |
| TransmitSDOEDO | If False, the MCP transmit and receive does not receive SDO and EDO characters. |
| UsesSDOEDO | If False, the SDO and EDO characters are not used. |
Connection
The following properties identify the connection information to the remote MCP server and the application to be modernized. These properties are used when the emulator attaches to the MCP server to run the application during the capturing process.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| (ServerName) | The name or the IP address of the MCP server. |
| InitialMessage | Identifies the initial message sent to the application upon connection. |
| Messages | Controls system messages sent to the terminal. Possible values are All, Responses, and None. |
SecureConnection | If True, indicates that socket to the backend server is a secure TLS connection. |
| SocketNumber | The port number for connecting to the MCP server. The default is 37654. |
| WindowName | The Transaction Server Window name of the application. |
DataComm
The following properties identify the expected behavior of certain data comm functions. This information helps the emulator react consistently to data comm functions as if it were a terminal.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| CarriageReturnCausesLineFeed | If True, a carriage return from data comm causes a line feed. |
| DC1Function | Indicates the function of the DC1 character when received from the MCP server. Possible values are ClearLine and StayInReceive. |
| DC2Function | Indicates the function of the DC2 character when received from the MCP server. Possible values are Advances DCP and Toggles Form. |
| OverwriteByBytes | If True, indicates that overwrite characters on the screen are by bytes rather than by characters. |
| LineFeedCausesCarriageReturn | If True, a line feed from the data comm causes a carriage return. |
| SOHClearScreen | If True, a Start of Header causes the screen to be cleared. |
| SOHExitsScreen | If True, a Start of Header causes an exit of the form. |
Language
The following properties control the translation of characters as they are sent and received by the emulator. These values should be changed if a customer encoder is used or an application is run in a language other than the default language.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| EncodingName | Identifies the name of the .NET encoding used to translate to or from the socket character set. If a custom encoder is used, this is the name of the class implementing unisys.Encoder. |
| EncodingPackage | Identifies the name of the .NET assembly that contains the custom unisys.Encoder used to translate to and from the socket character set. |
| Language | Identifies the natural language of the application. |
| ServerCharacterSet | Identifies the character set used by the MCP server. |
| SocketCharacterSet | Identifies the character set used on the socket. |
