SEND CONTROL command
Sends device controls to a terminal without map or text data. In Smalltalk, the parameters of the SEND CONTROL command are contained in two classes: CICSSendcontrol and CICSSendcontrolResult. VA Smalltalk Server supports minimum basic mapping support (BMS), which is an interface between CICS application programs and terminal devices.
See CICS Application Programming Reference for the syntax of the command and a description of its parameters.
