CICS 3270 printer options

For BMS, the special controls that apply to 3270 printers take the form of command options; PRINT, ERASE, L40, L64, L80, HONEOM, NLEOM, FORMFEED, and PRINTERCOMP.

In terminal control commands, ERASE is also expressed as an option, but the other controls are expressed directly in the data stream. The IBM 3270 Data Stream Programmers Reference and the IBM 3270 Data Stream Programmers Reference tell you how to encode them; the discussion that follows explains what they do.
