If CONSOLE IS CRT is specified, any ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement that has no phrases specific to a particular format (such as LOCAL-DATA or PIP-DATA), is treated as an extended ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement.
Similarly, if CONSOLE IS DISPLAY is specified, any ACCEPT or DISPLAY statement that has no phrases specific to a particular format is treated as a request to the dynamic screen manager session services APIs. For information on these APIs, see the CL and APIs section of the Programming category in the IBM® i Information Center at this Web site - http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/.
