System and Other FunctionsNotes$ZUTIL(69,51) sets this behavior on a system-wide basis. You can set this behavior for thecurrent process by calling $ZUTIL(68,51).The system-wide default behavior is configurable. Go to the System Management Portal,select System Configuration, select Advanced Settings, on the pull-down Category list selectObjectScript. View and edit the current setting of SwitchOSDirectory. The default is “false”.Setting $ZUTIL(69,51) changes the system configuration setting shown in the SystemManagement Portal; this change persists across a Caché shutdown and restart.Call $ZUTIL(168) to explicitly set the default directory at the operating system level.See Also• $ZUTIL(68,51) Namespace Default Directory Assignment for the Current Processfunction• $ZUTIL(168) Set Current Working Directory function$ZUTIL(69,60)Sets handling of asynchronous Telnet disconnect errors system-wide.$ZUTIL(69,60,n)$ZU(69,60,n)ParametersnA boolean value that specifies whether or not processes receive Telnet disconnecterrors asynchronously.DescriptionYou can use $ZUTIL(69,60) to set asynchronous disconnect error handling system-wide.$ZUTIL(69,60) is only applicable to Telnet connections on Windows. It has no effect onany other device type or operating system.For $ZUTIL(69,60) to be operational, one of the following must be set to enabled (1):678 Caché ObjectScript Reference
• The System Management Portal Configuration option ErrorOnDisconnect must be set to1 (True). Go to the System Management Portal, select Configuration, then select AdvancedSettings. On the pull-down Category list select Terminal. View and edit the current settingof ErrorOnDisconnect.• $ZUTIL(69,15) must set to 1.• $ZUTIL(68,15) must set to 1 for the current process.The $ZUTIL(69,60) default setting is 0 (disabled). Setting $ZUTIL(69,60,1) overrides thisdefault system-wide; it does not change the System Configuration setting.Invoking $ZUTIL(69,60) without specifying n returns the current switch setting.This configuration setting cannot be changed using the System Management Portal.ParametersnThe boolean switch that determines the system-wide default mode for asynchronous disconnecterrors: 0 = the process receives a error at the next READ or WRITE command.1 = The process receives an asynchronous error immediately when a disconnectoccurs on the device. This error occurs at the next command executed. HANG commandswill be interrupted.See Also• $ZUTIL(68,15) — Modem Disconnect Detection for the Current Process function• $ZUTIL(69,15) — Modem Disconnect Detection System-wide function$ZUTIL(69,60)Caché ObjectScript Reference 679
