Defining Network Access Settings - UNIX

To allow the Data Server host and client(s) to communicate, enable the PRO/5 or Visual PRO/5 SETOPTS byte 4 bit $20$ that controls network access. The client's network access SETOPTS bit can be set permanently or for the current session only.

Network Component	Access Setting	Location
Host	SETOPTS 00000020	Host config.bbx file
Client (Permanent setting)	SETOPTS 00000020	Client config.bbx file
Client (Current session only)	A$=OPTS A$(4,1)=IOR(A$(4,1),$20$) SETOPTS A$	Client console

For non-network access versions of PRO/5 and Visual PRO/5, it is not possible to set the network access bit.

Checking the Status of the Network Access SETOPTS Bit

To check the status of the SETOPTS byte 4 bit $20$, enter the following at the client console:

A$=OPTS
PRINT AND(A$(4,1),$20$)=$20$

If the bit is disabled, 0 is printed. If the bit is enabled, 1 is printed.
