7.2.1 - The 3270 Status Line

Note: the 3270 status line is different than the AX3000 TCP/IP status line. (The AX3000 TCP/IP status line displays information about current connected sessions. This line can be enabled/disabled through the AX3000 Set-Up). The 3270 status line is displayed at the bottom of the screen and gives the following information:

7.2.2 - Using a PC/AT Keyboard (102/105 keys)

The IBM 3270 emulation enables a PC/AT keyboard to be used for operation as a 3270 terminal.

The first twelve 3270 function keys are accessed through <F1> to <F12>. The F13 to F24 function keys are accessed through <Shift><F1> to <Shift><F12>.

The following table lists the other useful keys:

Recorded keystrokes can be assigned to any of the twelve function keys (<F1> to <F12>).

a) Programming a Function Key

To record a series of keystrokes proceed as follows: - press <Alt Gr><F4>to set the record mode,

- press any of the 12 function keys to which you want to assign, - type the key sequence you want to save,

- press <Alt Gr><F4> to exit the record mode. Notes:

- Maximum Keystrokes Recorded: for each session there is a maximum of 127 keystrokes recordable. Each individual function key has a maximum of 63 keystrokes recordable.

- To delete a recorded function key, you have to record an empty key sequence.

Example:

1 - Press <Alt Gr><F4> to set the Record mode. The 3270 status line is set in reverse video mode and the following information is displayed (the 12 boxes are the 12 function keys, a solid box means that data is recorded):

MEMOR „……… ………… ………… 17/21 2 - Press one of the function keys (from <F1> to <F12>). The 3270 status

line is set in normal mode and the following information is displayed: R 127 F1 17/21

Note: 'R' indicates the Record mode. The second field is the maximum keystrokes that can be recorded for this session (max. 127). The third field is the selected function key.

3 - Type the key sequence. Note the keystroke counter shows the remaining keystrokes that can be recorded for this function key (max. 63). As you type this counter is decreased.

b) Processing a key sequence

To execute a series of keystrokes that have been recorded: - press <Alt Gr><F5> to set the Process mode, - press the recorded function key,

- the key sequence is processed. Example:

1 - Press <Alt Gr><F5> to set the Process mode. The 3270 status line is set in reverse video mode and the following information is displayed (the 12 boxes are the 12 function keys, a solid box means that data is recorded):

EXEC „……… ………… ………… 17/21 2 - Press the recorded function key (from <F1> to <F12>). The 3270 status line is set in normal mode and the following information is displayed (the 'P' symbol indicates the Process mode). The key sequence is processed:

P 17/21 Note: during the process mode, the input is inhibited.
