Parameter 8 - Discard Output

This parameter is set if the user wishes to abort a process running on the remote system by pressing the break key. When the break key is used, incoming data is discarded until the remote system reacts to the break signal, and sets parameter 8 back to 0.

Parameter 8 supports the following values:
