The Copy Screen command copies the contents of one screen to one or more other screens. The
command copies all values, modes, display data, and touch programming. The Copy Screen
command is used as follows:
•
To display a stored screen, copy it into the Displayed Screen.
•
To save the Displayed Screen, copy it into a stored screen.
•
To quickly build several screens that differ only slightly from each other, copy from one
stored screen to several others, then make any modifications.
If the source or a destination screen specified in the command does not exist, the TCS
automatically creates a new screen before performing the copy and initializes it with the default
values listed under the heading Initialize Screen Command.
If the screen already exists before the issuance of the Copy Screen command, all screen-
dependent items (values and modes) are copied to the destination screen using the current values
from the source screen, specifically:
•
Contents (characters and attributes)
•
Cursor Position
•
Cursor Type
•
Character Attributes Selected
•
NOCHANGE Attribute Mode
•
Screen Background
•
Origin Mode
•
Scrolling Region
•
Character Font Mapping
•
Touchkeys
•
Touchkey Types
•
Touchkey Visual Extent
•
Touchkey Audible Attribute
The new screen exists until it is explicitly deleted with the Delete Screen command or a hard
reset is performed.
When a screen is copied into Screen 0 (the Displayed Screen), some Set-Up parameters may
change because some screen-dependent items within the Displayed Screen are also Set-Up
parameters.
