print-filter Command

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

print

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.
