chapter 6 IBM 3270 EMULATION This chapter describes features of the IBM 3270 terminal emulation. Introduction The IBM 3270 emulator provides emulation of all four models of the IBM 3278 alphanumeric terminal and also supports the IBM 3287-1 printer. The terminal emulation supports Extended Attribute mode that allows different representation of highlighted fields and permits host definition of text colors. (Note that you can modify colors using the Attribute Settings dialog box but they cannot be saved as colors are mapped differently in this mode.) The emulation also includes typeahead capability so that you can continue to enter data without waiting for a prompt from the host. Special key functions that are provided on the IBM 3270 keyboard can be mapped to any key on your keyboard by using the IB virtual key names listed in the Define Keyboard Macros dialog box. Running The Emulation 1. Display the Emulation Settings dialog box, set the Alpha Emulation option to IBM3270, then click the OK button. The terminal is now in Network Virtual Terminal mode, as indicated by the symbol in the status line along the bottom of the window. 2. Display the Emulation Settings dialog box again if you wish to change the setting of the IBM Model option which determines the size of the display and whether or not extended attributes are supported. One of four display sizes can be selected: • 3278/9-2 24 rows by 80 columns • 3278/9-3 32 rows by 80 columns • 3278/9-4 43 rows by 80 columns • 3278/9-5 27 rows by 132 columns.

IBM 3270 E
MULATION
This chapter describes features of the IBM 3270 terminal emulation.
Introduction
The IBM 3270 emulator provides emulation of all four models of the IBM 3278 alphanu-
meric terminal and also supports the IBM 3287-1 printer. The terminal emulation supports
Extended Attribute mode that allows different representation of highlighted fields and per-
mits host definition of text colors. (Note that you can modify colors using the
Attribute
Settings
dialog box but they cannot be saved as colors are mapped differently in this
mode.) The emulation also includes typeahead capability so that you can continue to enter
data without waiting for a prompt from the host.
Special key functions that are provided on the IBM 3270 keyboard can be mapped to any
key on your keyboard by using the IB virtual key names listed in the
Define Keyboard
Macros
dialog box.
Running The Emulation
1.
Display the
Emulation Settings
dialog box, set the
Alpha Emulation
option to
IBM3270
, then click the
OK
button. The terminal is now in Network Virtual Terminal
mode, as indicated by the
symbol in the status line along the bottom of the window.
2.
Display the
Emulation Settings
dialog box again if you wish to change the setting of
the
IBM Model
option which determines the size of the display and whether or not
extended attributes are supported. One of four display sizes can be selected:
•
3278
/
9-2
24 rows by 80 columns
•
3278
/
9-3
32 rows by 80 columns
