The LINE operand is used on certain terminals to identify the deletion character that deletes the remainder of a line from the screen. Some terminals have a built-in delete line key on the keyboard. For example, a 3270 display terminal had a delete line key marked with ERASE EOF. When a terminal has a delete line key, the LINE operand might be negated and appear in a user profile as LINE(0).

On terminals without a delete line key, the attention key is the default for a line deletion character and appears in a user profile as LINE(ATTN). You can change a line deletion character with the PROFILE command by specifying the LINE operand and changing the character in parentheses after the LINE operand.

PROFILE LINE(#)

To specify that the terminal not have a line deletion character, enter the NOLINE operand.

When specifying deletion characters, avoid using a blank, tab, comma, asterisk, or parentheses because these characters are used when entering commands. Also avoid using alphabetic or other commonly-used characters.
