This table lists the carriage control characters in IBM® machine code and their functions.
| Control character value (in hexadecimal) | Function |
|---|---|
| X'03' | No operation. |
| X'09' | Print, and then space one line (single spacing). |
| X'11' | Print, and then space two lines (double spacing). |
| X'19' | Print, and then space three lines (triple spacing). |
| X'01' | Print without spacing (type over next line). |
| X'89' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 1 (by convention, the first line on a new page). |
| X'91' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 2. |
| X'99' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 3. |
| X'A1' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 4. |
| X'A9' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 5. |
| X'B1' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 6. |
| X'B9' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 7. |
| X'C1' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 8. |
| X'C9' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 9. |
| X'D1' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 10. |
| X'D9' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 11. |
| X'E1' | Print the data, then skip to the line position defined as Channel 12. |
| X'0B' | Space one line without printing. |
| X'13' | Space two lines without printing. |
| X'1B' | Space three lines without printing. |
| X'8B' | Skip to Channel 1 immediately (by convention, the first line on a new page). |
| X'93' | Skip to the Channel 2 position immediately. |
| X'9B' | Skip to the Channel 3 position immediately. |
| X'A3' | Skip to the Channel 4 position immediately. |
| X'AB' | Skip to the Channel 5 position immediately. |
| X'B3' | Skip to the Channel 6 position immediately. |
| X'BB' | Skip to the Channel 7 position immediately. |
| X'C3' | Skip to the Channel 8 position immediately. |
| X'CB' | Skip to the Channel 9 position immediately. |
| X'D3' | Skip to the Channel 10 position immediately. |
| X'DB' | Skip to the Channel 11 position immediately. |
| X'E3' | Skip to the Channel 12 position immediately. |
| Note: Print Services Facility™ (PSF) ignores these hexadecimal machine code carriage control characters and does not print lines containing them: X'02' through X'07', X'0A', X'12', X'23', X'43', X'63', X'6B', X'73', X'7B', X'EB', X'F3', and X'FB'. PSF treats any other carriage control value as not valid and prints any data on the line using single spacing. | |
