The data for a sequential terminal MUST be FIXED, UNBLOCKED (Usually
80,80).  There is a CICS parm (EODI) that can be set to control whether
the line should end with a \ (the default, aka x'15') or something else.
 If you chose something else, the EODI parm takes two digits that it
interprets as hex, be sure to choose something that will NEVER show up
in your data!
