The print-filter command controls the ways attribute and value marks are displayed or printed.
Syntax
print-filter {(options} |
Parameter(s)
options |
n |
Makes attribute and value marks printable. |
f |
Leaves attribute and value marks unchanged. |
CAUTION |
The print-filter command should always be used in conjunction with the crt-delimiters command. |
If the print-filter command is issued without an option, the current setting status is returned.
In conjunction with the crt-delimiters command, the print-filter command allows attribute and value marks to display or print in three different ways, according to this table:
delimiters |
filter |
| |
crt statements |
|
--------------------------------------------------------------- |

(f |
(f |
unchanged (x’fe’) |
|
|
(n |
(f |
unchanged (x’fd’) |
|
|
(f |
(n |
’^’,’] |
| |
cr/lf |
(n |
(n |
’^’ and ’]’ |
|
|
The print-filter command takes precedence over the crt-delimiters command. As a result, when the print-filter is set to off, the crt-delimiters has no effect. At boot time, the print-filter defaults to on.
NOTE |
The print-filter command stops printing when the first unprintable character is encountered. |
