TERMINAL INPUT LOGICAL UNIT

TERMINAL OUTPUT LOGICAL UNIT

Syntax:

[NO] TERMINAL INPUT [LOGICAL] UNIT <integer> [NO] TERMINAL OUTPUT [LOGICAL] UNIT <integer>

Function:

These commands specify the logical unit numbers used for terminal input and output. The specification is used by FPT:

• to control conversion of ISAM file accesses to sub-program calls. It is assumed that ISAM files can not be opened on the terminal logical unit numbers. Please see the command CHANGE ISAM FILE ACCESSES TO SUB-PROGRAM CALLS for a description of this process;
• to specify the logical units affected by the command COMMENT OUT OPEN OF THE TERMINAL.

Where to use this command:

Operating system command line	Yes
Configuration file, config.fsp	Yes
Specification (FSP) files, *.fsp	Yes
Interactively, to FPT> prompt:	No
Interactive command files	No
Embedded in the Fortran code	Yes

Default:

By default, unit 5 is assumed to be used for terminal input and unit 6 for terminal output. Note that defaults may be changed in the configuration file.

Example:

To specify the use of logical units in a program in an fsp file:

% indexed units 14 15 16 17
% non-indexed units 1 2 3 4 8 9
% terminal input unit 5
% terminal output unit 6
