/READSYNC /NOREADSYNC (default) Controls whether the terminal uses the Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q functions to synchronize data transmitted from the terminal. CAUTION SET TERMINAL/READSYNC should not be used on LAT terminal lines. Setting this characteristic may cause unexpected results. The default is the /NOREADSYNC qualifier; the system does not use the Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q functions to control reads to the terminal. The /READSYNC qualifier is useful for certain classes of terminals that demand synchronization or for special-purpose terminal lines where data synchronization is appropriate.
