                          displayed in the output area

           exclamation mark:

           !CMDCLR   : clear input area of the console
           !TOP      : scroll the output area to the start of the buffered

STATe      check if the terminal connected is supported by the MECAFF-API for
           fullscreen operations (either with DIAG58 or the MECAFF-console)
           and set the return code accordingly (without writing output to the
           console):

           RC = 0   : fullscreen support is available for the 3270 terminal
                      connected
           RC != 0  : no fullscreen support available for the terminal, the

QRYType    check the connection type of the 3270 terminal and set the return
           code accordingly (without writing output to the console):

           RC = 1058 : directly connected and DIAG58 version 1.07 or later
           RC = 3277 : connected with a MECAFF-console in GRAF-style connection
           RC = 3215 : connected with a MECAFF-console in CONS-style connection
           RC = -1   : unknown or none of the supported fullscreen
                       infrastructures recognized
