INTERPRET table customization

The standard Telnet USS logon support should meet the needs of most installations. However, Telnet does support INTERPRET table function if special circumstances require accepting a sequence of characters outside the normal USS command format. For example, the user might want to enter logon data that includes blanks. The INTERPRET table defines all entered data, including blanks, as a USSPARM DATA entry. The PL1 USSCMD format treats each blank as a parameter delimiter and cannot properly process a variable number of parameters. The INTERPRET table character sequences are scanned whenever the client is mapped to both a USS table and an INTERPRET table. Both must be mapped because the INTERPRET function is a subset of the USS function. INTERPRET is not a stand-alone function. The sample INTERPRET table found in SEZAINST(EZBTPINT) is not assembled and linked, and it is not loaded into Telnet as a default INTERPRET table. The table must be assembled, linked, loaded, and mapped in the Telnet profile to be used.
