- Block-oriented_terminal abstract "A block-oriented terminal or block mode terminal is a type of computer terminal that communicates with its host in blocks of data, as opposed to a character-oriented terminal that communicates with its host one character at a time. The IBM 3270 is perhaps the most familiar implementation of a block-oriented terminal, but most mainframe computer manufacturers and several other companies produced them.In a typical application the host sends the terminal a preformatted panel containing both static data and fields into which data may be entered. The terminal operator keys data, such as updates in a database entry, into the appropriate fields. When entry is complete a block of data, usually just the data entered by the operator, is sent to the host in one transmission. Block-oriented terminals have the advantage of causing less system load on the host and less network traffic than character-oriented terminals. On a multi-drop line there is considerable overhead for each transmission which is the same for a single character as for thousands of characters. Block-oriented terminals may also appear more responsive to the user, especially over slow connections, since editing within a field is done locally on the terminal itself rather than depending on echoing from the host system.Early terminals had limited editing capabilities – 3270 terminals, for example, only offered the ability to check data entered into a field defined as numeric. Later so-called "smart" or "intelligent" terminals incorporated microprocessors and supported more local processing.".
