Use the appropriate command to make a new terminal type the current terminal type. The commands assume that the name of the new terminal type is my_term_type.

Table 1. Setting the terminal type
Operating system Command Environment
UNIX (Bourne shell) TERM="my_term_type"; export TERM In .profile or at the shell prompt
UNIX (C shell) setenv TERM "my_term_type" In .profile or at the shell prompt

Alternately, you can change the terminal type from within an OpenEdge program with the following ABL statement:

TERMINAL = termid

See the TERMINAL function reference entry in ABL Reference for more information.
