Deactivating a Stored Form  
A stored form cannot be deleted from the terminal via a host command, instead it is deactivated
The host uses Expanded Function K to send a form with the same identifier to overwrite the 
obsolete form. This new form message can include text indicating that the form is not an active 
form or that no form is available. 
For example, the following message deactivates a stored form: 
 
 
 
Y
is the control character that allows you to 
send an expanded function. 
 
 
 
 
K
 is the N/EF character that stores Form A 
in the terminal. 
 
 
   
 
AB]
 is the form message header 
 
 
    
   
 
This text lets the operator know that the 
form is deactivated.
