This module takes SIK5, SOK5, and CCK5 and provides SIK6, SOK6, and CCK6 which are the same except they speak EBCDIC instead of ASCII.

If EOF is signalled from SIK5 or SOK5, the TM destroys itself.

SIK6

Similar to SIK5. SIK6 will not break up into more than one packet a packet from SIK5 if it has 256 or fewer bytes.

Like the function of CCK3 (cck3) except:

"Define character set", "Query Characteristics", "Set Status Message", and "Activate now" are not supported.

CCK6(4;==>0;SIK5,SOK5,CCK5) "Destroy TM"

Destroys the Translation Module and signals EOF on SIK6 and SOK6.

If SIK6 and SOK6 are both available, i.e. SIK6 is in the consuming state and SOK6 is in the producing state, then SIK5 and SOK5 are available and will be returned by this operation. If a key is not available, DK(0) is returned in that position.

Since no limit for SOK5 is returned, the user will have to assume a limit of zero initially.

CCK6(12;==>c;) "Expand tab to spaces"
If there is a transmission in progress, c is 1. Otherwise c is zero and tab on input is treated as an abbreviation for enough spaces to go to the next tab stop.

CCK6(13;==>c;) "Don't expand tab to spaces"
If there is a transmission in progress, c is 1. Otherwise c is zero and tab is treated as any other data character.

CCK6(16+4n+2d+b;==>c;) "Filter characters"
N, d, and b are either 0 or 1.

If there is a transmission in progress, c is 1. Otherwise c is zero and three flags are set.

If n=1, NUL in the input stream will be ignored except after the editing characters control- O, P, V, X, and Z.

If d=1, DEL in the input stream will be ignored except after the editing characters control- O, P, V, X, and Z.

If b=1, orange ball in the input stream will be ignored.

CCK6(24,ps;==>c;) "Set prompt string"
Ps may have up to 8 characters; if it has more, or there is a transmission in progress, c is 1, otherwise c is zero and the prompt string is set to ps. The string is taken to be EBCDIC.

CCK6(25,ol;==>c;) "Set old line"
Ol may have up to 256 characters. If ol has more than 256 characters, or there is a transmission in progress, or there was a "pseudoactivate" or a previous "set old line" since the last transmission ended, c is 1. Otherwise c is 0, the old line is set, the old line cursor is set to the beginning of the old line, and the automatic setting of the old line at the beginning of the next transmission is inhibited. The string is taken to be EBCDIC.

CCK6(26;==>c;) "Pseudoactivate"
If there is a transmission in progress, or there was a "set old line" or another "pseudoactivate" since the last transmission ended, c is 1. If a pseudoactivate cannot be honored due to the implementation-defined maximum limit on the number of bytes in a transmission, c is 2. Otherwise, c is 0 and SIK6 behaves as though none of the characters in the previous transmission was an activation character and the transmission did not occur. The data will be transmitted again (after perhaps being subjected to editing). If the last character in the previous transmission is an orange ball, it is deleted.

CCK6(27;==>c;) "Delete last input character"
If there is a transmission in progress, or if the FIFO buffer contains 254 characters, c is 1. Otherwise, c is 0 and a signal to delete the last data character input from the circuit is buffered in the FIFO buffer. This signal will be acted upon when the SIK6 is next called. N.B. The echo of this deletion may delete characters output with SOK6 so it is best to use this only after order code 29 (re-display input). This order code only makes sense in conjunction with order code 26 (pseudoactivate).

CCK6(28,data;==>c;) "Type for user"
If "data" would cause the FIFO buffer to exceed 255 characters, or there is a transmission in progress, or "data" contains characters other than printable characters (EBCDIC equivalent of ASCII characters) or space, c is 1. Otherwise c is 0, and "data" is placed in the FIFO buffer to be acted upon as if it were entered from the other end of the circuit when SIK6 is next called. "Data" is taken to be EBCDIC.

CCK6(29;==>c;) "Re-display input"
If there is a transmission in progress, or if the FIFO buffer contains 254 characters, c is 1. Otherwise, c is 0 and a signal to re-display the partially entered new line is queued in the FIFO buffer. This signal will be acted upon when the SIK6 key is next called. This order code only makes sense in conjunction with order code 26 (pseudoactivate).
