Adding terminals to PMRS

May 19, 1993
See the file pmrs_key_usage.info for documentation on which
JYACC keys must be defined for PMRS. Any standard JYACC vid
file can be used.
In order to use a terminal type other than the ones contained
below you need to create the correct keys and vid file for the
terminal desired and add the entries to the
display_meters.smvars.
The concept of adding terminals is based soley on JYACCs JAM
which is covered in the JYACC Application Manager Guide (R238).
The supplied display_meters.smvars file without modification
supports the following terminal types:
cac_xterm, host_pc1, ibm3151, ibm3161, ibm3162, ibm3163,
ibm3164, sun_xterm, v101, v102, v103, v103_ascii, v105,
v105_ansi, vt100, vt220, vt320.

Adding terminal support to PMRS:

In order to run PMRS [display_meters] from an UNSUPPORTED
TERMINAL the display_meters.smvars file must be updated
accordingly as well as the proper binding of the vid and keys
files.
The JYACC Application Manager Guide details the steps involved
in creating the vid, keys, and smvars however the three steps
are also listed below.
The following example is for providing support of pmrs with a

vt220 terminal type using a customized vt220vid and vt220keys

file.
We are assuming the pmrs_vt220keys and pmrs_vt220vid already
exist and support all of the featurs of PMRS. Since
>system>pmrs_command_library is a controlled library it is
recommended that all user created files be kept in an
uncontrolled library. The applications_libray will be used for
this example.
Emacs the display_meters.smvars and supply the pathname to bin
files of both the vid and keys files.
ex: display_meters.smvars
SMPATH= (master_disk)>system>pmrs_command_library
SMFEXTENSION=
SMMSGS= (master_disk)>system>pmrs_command_library>pmrs_msgfile.bin
SMKEY= (vt220) (master_disk)>system>applications_library>pmrs_vt220keys.bin
SMVIDEO= (vt220) (master_disk)>system>applications_library>pmrs_vt220vid.bin
Now bind the keys file to produce the binary version of the keys
file.
ex: r45_vid2bin pmrs_vt220keys
Now bind the vid file to produce the binary version of the video
file.
ex: r45_vid2bin pmrs_vt220vid
Finally bind the setup file to produce the binary version of the
smvars.
ex: r45_var2bin display_meters.smvars
NOTE: the above utilities are normally shipped with the jam
product. However, they have also been included with PMRS (S176)
developed under Jam release 4.5 which is why the commands have
been preceded with r45_.
NOTE: PMRS is created with JAM 4.5 (JAM 5.0 in VOS 13 and up).
However it is quite possible for a customer to have JAM 5.x
installed on their system. If this is the case the CAC needs to
provide the JAM 4.5 keys and vid file for the terminal that is
being added to PMRS support.
