Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Additional terminal identifier considerations

Note the following points related to terminal identifiers:

Table 8–3 is complete as of the print date of this guide.
The IBM native console terminal type hft is not supported.
OpenEdge does not support spacetaking terminals, unless the terminal has a firmware setup option to change it to a nonspacetaking mode.

To determine your terminal identifier if it is not listed in Table 8–3:

Try to run OpenEdge using a terminal definition for a terminal that functions similarly to yours, or try to configure your terminal to emulate one of the supported terminals.
Note: Progress Software Corporation does not support terminal emulation.
In the directory where you installed your OpenEdge product, find the PROTERMCAP file that contains terminal definitions.
Search through the PROTERMCAP file to see if your terminal is listed. The PROTERMCAP file is similar in structure to the UNIX /etc/termcap file. Each terminal type is followed by a description of that terminal. For more information about the PROTERMCAP file, see OpenEdge Deployment: Managing 4GL Applications .
