IBM 3270 Emulation Capabilities
The IBM 3270 terminal emulation supports Extended Attribute
mode which allows different representation of highlighted fields and
permits host definition of text colours. (Note that you can modify
colours using the
Attribute Settings
dialog, but they cannot be saved
as colours 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.
Keyboard Mapping
The keyboard is mapped as close as possible to the terminal being
emulated. The mapping of key functions can be determined by refer-
ring to the
Emulation Keys
list box in the
Key Macro Settings
dialog,
which is displayed by selecting
Key Macros...
on the
Tools
menu.
The information in brackets in the right column indicates the default
mapping of the key function named in the left column. In the list,
S+
indicates the
Shift
key,
C+
indicates the
Control
key and
A+
indi-
cates the
Alt
key.
For example:
IB_ERASEINPUT
(S+VK_PAUSE)
indicates that the
Erase Input
function is mapped to the key combi-
nation
Shift
+
Pause
.
Special key functions usually found on an IBM 3270 keyboard can
be mapped to any key on your keyboard using the
IB
virtual key
names listed in the
Key Macro Settings
dialog.
The illustrations on the following pages show where IBM 3270 key-
board functions are mapped to keys on a 101/102 key keyboard.
