Understanding the built-in terminal definitions
Additional terminal identifier considerations
The following points are relevant to terminal identifiers:
• Table 46 is complete as of the print date of this guide.
• The IBM native console terminal type hft is not supported.
• OpenEdge does not support spacetaking terminals, unless the terminal has a
firmware setup option to change it to a non-spacetaking mode.
To determine your terminal identifier if it is not listed in Table 46:
1. Try to run OpenEdge using a terminal definition for a terminal that functions
similarly to yours, or try to configure your terminal to emulate one of the supported
terminals.
Note: Progress Software Corporation does not support terminal emulation.
2. In the directory where you installed your OpenEdge product, find the PROTERMCAP
file that contains terminal definitions.
Note: All terminal types supported by OpenEdge are documented in the
$DLC/protermcap file.
3. Search through the PROTERMCAP file to see if your terminal is listed. The
PROTERMCAP file is similar in structure to the UNIX /etc/termcap file. Each
terminal type is followed by a description of that terminal. For more information
about the PROTERMCAP file, see OpenEdge Deployment: Managing ABL
Applications.
