K2 key in Connections

The K2 key normally results in an immediate break to the command level of BS2000. In connections, it controls the switching from one connection to another, or to the basic level of CFS. When the K2 key is pressed, the following sequence of events takes place:

1) The current screen contents are saved.

2) If ACD (Automatic Connection Display) mode is switched on, all currently open connections are displayed (Standard).

3) A line is issued which indicates the connection in which the user currently operates.

4) The following message is issued:

"Return to CFS/Continue in Conn. n/Break ? (R/n/n cmd/B/BB/^cmd)"

Connections to $CONSOLE will result in the message:

"Console-input/continue in Conn. n/Break ? (input/R/n/^cmd/?)"

Connections to $CONSOLE in Asynchronous Mode (ACn) will result in the message:

"Input for Console n/Return to CFS ? (n input/R/^cmd/?)"

While in Connections to $CONSOLE and $VMCONS, the user has 2 minutes to answer messages. If nothing is entered during this time the display is switched back to console output. The system administrator can set this wait time in the CFSMAIN module, and it can be any value between 10 and 3600 seconds. If a value of 0 seconds is specified, this will cause CFS to wait for an unlimited period of time for input, as was the case in previous versions of CFS.

The following choices are available:
