Chapter 5  Expanded Functions 

For The Programmer 

The content of this chapter is directed to the programmer responsible for writing applications that 
communicate with LXE LDS Plus DOS computers. 

This chapter discusses expanded functions and provides guidelines for sending these messages to 
the network devices and DOS computers. 

Refer to Chapter 4, “Messages”, for descriptions of message structure, fields and elements. 

Introduction 

Note: 

Expanded Functions are not applicable to Inbound or Protocol messages. 

An 

expanded function 

is a special message that allows more extensive control over the DOS 

terminal than is accomplished with a control character alone. 

CTRL and N/EF Characters 

Control characters (located in the CTRL field) in an 

outbound message

 determine how an LDS 

Plus terminal reacts to a message. Certain outbound CTRL characters also require an additional 
character which is either a Number (N) or an Expanded Function (EF) code (N/EF). 

The N/EF character (located in the N/EF field of the message) provides additional control for a 
message than just a control character alone. The control character determines whether an N/EF 
character is required. It also determines whether the N/EF character represents a numeric quantity 
or an expanded function.  

This chapter focuses on the Expanded Function part of the N/EF field. 

Refer to Chapter 4, “Messages”, section titled “Control Character (CTRL)”, for an explanation 
and examples of the Number (N) portion of the N/EF code. 

Forced and Unforced Messages 

Expanded functions initiated by the host provide a means of expanding the control capabilities of 
the DOS computers. Expanded functions 

cannot

 be combined with any of the following: 

•

 

A programmed buffer length change. 

•

 

A programmed number of beeps. 

The recommended Host format for a 

forced

 expanded function message is: 

<IDSYExpandedFunctionC

R

L

F

 

If text is included in the message and if a message is already in the terminal’s Receive buffer, the 
incoming message must be of the Forced type for the expanded function to take effect and the 
Receive buffer to be overwritten by the text.
