Requirements :

       1) The UNIT parameter must be specified before any other parameters.

       2) More than one UNIT may be configured on a command line.  It is
          necessary only to change the UNIT parameter.

EXAMPLE OF COMMAND LINES

       CC.SETDCP UNIT=DC1 BAUD=1200 PARITY=ODD HANDSHAKE=ENQACK

               Configure DataCom 1 to 1200 baud with odd parity and
               use the character handshake protocol Enq/Ack.


       CC.SETDCP U=P D=1 B=24 P=S H=X CH=7

               Configure the Printer to use DataCom 1 with the
               Xon/Xoff character handshake protocol.  DataCom 1
               is configured to 2400 baud, Space transmit and ignore
               receive parity, and a character size of 7.


       cc.setdcp unit=dc1 baud=1200 unit=dc2 h=xonxoff

               Lower case is ok.  Configure DataCom 1 to 1200 baud
               and DataCom 2 to use the Xon/Xoff character handshake
               protocol.

       cc.setdcp unit=printer altchartable=/myvol/alttable.data

               The unit parameter must be specified as printer before either
               the Alternate Character translation table or the Action table
               are loaded.  This example loads the Alternate table file named
               alttable.data from volume myvol.  It verifies the correctness of
               the table before it attaches it to the driver.
