Sets the input and output speed for the user's terminal. (CM)
SPEED newinspeed, newoutspeed or SET SPEED = newspeed
newinspeed The new input speed in characters-per-second (CPS). The input and output speeds must always be equal. Acceptable values for newinspeed and newoutspeed are 30, 120, 240, 480, 960, and 1920. Values no longer supported are 11, 150, and 60. newoutspeed The new output speed in characters-per-second (CPS). The input and output speeds must always be equal. Acceptable values for newinspeed and newoutspeed are 30, 120, 240, 480, 960, and 1920. Values no longer supported are 11, 150, and 60. newspeed Used with the SET command to specify both input and output speeds, which are equal. Refer to the SET command.
MPE/iX automatically senses the input/output speed of a terminal when you log on at that terminal. If your terminal has speed adjustment controls, you can change the input and output speeds after logon with the SPEED command. This command is not valid for terminals that operate at only one speed. Since terminal input and output speeds are the same, it's no longer necessary to specify them individually as it was in MPE V/E. When the command is entered, MPE/iX displays the following message at the old output speed CHANGE SPEED AND INPUT "MPE" Manually change the speed control on the terminal and verify the new speed by entering MPE [Return] If the characters "MPE" cannot be verified, system assumes that the terminal is to continue at the old speed. (To continue, you must reset the terminal control to the old speed.) Note that on Hewlett-Packard terminals the baud rate is Characters Per Second (CPS) multiplied by 10. When you select the baud rate at which you choose to operate, you must, therefore, divide the rate by 10, and enter that value with the SPEED command. You can also change the terminal speed programmatically by using the FCONTROL intrinsic. Refer to the Intrinsics Reference Manual (32650-90028). This command may be issued from a session, but not from a job. It may be issued in BREAK or from a program. Pressing [Break] has no effect on this command.
To change the input and output speeds to 240 CPS (2400 baud), enter SPEED 240,240 or SET SPEED=2400 CHANGE SPEED AND INPUT "MPE" { Manually change the speed and enter MPE. The { is a random character.
