This terminal command only applies to terminals which support
inverse (right-to-left) print mode. See also profile parameter
PM in the
Parameter Reference documentation, and
Bidirectional Language Support in
the Unicode and Code Page Support documentation.

Syntax description:
| Command | Function |
|---|---|
%VON
|
Activates inverse (right-to-left) print mode
(corresponds to PM=I).
All non-alphanumeric fields, system variables and PF key lines are reversed.
This ensures the correct display of these items on the terminal running in
right-to-left mode.
|
%VOFF
|
Activates normal (left-to-right) print mode
(corresponds to PM=R).
|
%V
|
Toggles between normal and inverted print mode. |
%VNON |
Activates inverse print mode for numeric fields if profile
parameter PM=I is set
or %VON was issued.
This is the default setting. |
%VNOFF |
Activates normal print mode for numeric fields if profile
parameter PM=I is set
or %VON was issued.
This may be used for sensitive terminals which do not invert numerics. |
%VN
|
Toggles between normal print mode and inverse
print mode for numeric fields.
This may be used for sensitive terminals which do not invert numerics. |
%VAON |
If profile parameter
PM=I is set, this
causes alphanumeric input fields that are defined with field attribute
PM=I to be sent to the terminal with the numeric field attribute.
This ensures that these fields, which would otherwise be considered
right-to-left cursor oriented in right-to-left mode, will be considered
left-to-right. The corresponding hardware feature is required. Alternatively,
field attribute (AD=Q) can
be used individually instead of this terminal command.
|
%VAOFF |
Alphanumeric input fields are sent to the terminal
without the numeric field attribute.
This is the default setting. |
%VA
|
Toggles between %VAON and
%VAOFF.
|
%VKON |
Numeric fields for which a helproutine or edit
mask is defined are internally converted by Natural to alphanumeric format
(otherwise a user would not be able, for example, to enter a question mark in
such a field to invoke the helproutine). With inverse print mode, however, this
internal conversion would cause a numeric value in such a field to be
interpreted from right-to-left.
For numeric fields that are defined with |
%VKOFF |
Deactivates the feature described above.
This is the default setting. |
%VK
|
Toggles between %VKON and
%VKOFF.
