IDCS top-level constant

String const IDCS

Identify Device Control String.

Representation: CSI s \x20 \x4F

No parameter default value.

IDCS is used to specify the purpose and format of the command string of subsequent DEVICE CONTROL STRINGs (DCS). The specified purpose and format remain in effect until the next occurrence of IDCS in the data stream.

The parameter values are:

  • 1 - reserved for use with the DIAGNOSTIC state of the STATUS REPORT TRANSFER MODE (SRTM)
  • 2 - reserved for Dynamically Redefinable Character Sets (DRCS) according to Standard ECMA-35.

The format and interpretation of the command string corresponding to these parameter values are to be defined in appropriate standards. If this control function is used to identify a private command string, a private parameter value shall be used.

Implementation

const String IDCS = ' O';
