3764.0. "TDE picture via VTX$QUEUE upset terminal setting" by GIDDAY::LEH () Mon Jan 17 1994 06:18

    VMS 5.5-2 + IOS 3.0 with A1_FIX012030 fix +	VTX 4.1      
    
    A WPL file containing a TDE picture was sent to VTX$QUEUE using VT200 
    as printer styles with approriate VTX details for workbench loading.
    
    The output seemed OK but some formatting escape sequence added by 
    VTX$QUEUE upset terminal settings, which had to be cleared with $ SET
    TERM/INQUIRE or key board SETUP key
    
    The same disruption occurred when seeing from VTX workbench or typing
    the temporary files, e.g. TDE.VTXPRINT_00000_SMITH in VTX$WB_FILES area
    
    The patch A1_FIX012030 was applied correctly, incl the steps of adding
    a new keyword TRAILING_BLANK_LINES to printer tables .PRA such as
    VT200, VT300 and LN03
    
    Any comments ?

        If this ICF doesn't specifically state that it will now allow TDE
        portions of a WPS-PLUS document to work properly after submission
        to VTX$QUEUE, then this is not supported.

3764.2independent from VTX itself ?GIDDAY::LEHTue Jan 18 1994 22:4714

    I already suspected this was a bug but wanted to check it out if some
    one has come across it. Also my minimal knowledge of the working of
    VTX$QUEUE made me believe this problem was having nothing to do with
    VTX itself, so later versions of VTX say 5.% wouldn't help either.
    
    In fact, this patch A1_FIX012030 didn't seem to fix other formatting
    problems on WPL documents; although note 2506 did find it cure the loss
    of blank lines. I'll post another note.
    
    On the current TDE formatting problem, I'll submit a SRF

    For those reading out there, add <ESC>(B to the end of the termination
    sequence in the PRA file used for VTX$QUEUE
