Parameter 19 - Editing PAD result codes

Parameter 19 provides the PAD information about the attached DTE (terminal or printer). This ensures that the PAD sends the proper editing character sequences. For example, on a printer, the character delete function simply prints a backslash (\) for each printable character that is deleted, while a terminal is sent a BS-SP-BS sequence to backspace the cursor and erase the deleted character from the screen.

The PAD uses editing PAD result codes for display terminals regardless of the value of parameter 19 when bit 2 of S53 is set.

Parameter 19 supports the following values:
