Configuring and Managing 3270 Terminal Emulation (TN3270)
19-12
• You cannot assign an ASCII key sequence that is a subset of a key sequence
already assigned to a 3270 function. For example, the assignment of “KPDOT”
to a 3270 function is disallowed if “KPDOT F20” is already assigned to a 3270
function.
Selecting a Server-Wide Terminal Type and Keyboard Map for a Port
A port user who wants to establish a TN3270 session using a server-wide
keyboard map can do the following:
Step Action
1 Check to see what terminal types (and associated keyboard maps) are
available with the following command:
Local> SHOW TN3270 TERMINAL
Server: LAT_08002B26D0DE
Terminal Keymap
VT100 VT100
VT220 VT220
VT320 VT220
VT420 VT220
ANSI VT1000
PC_100_DCA NEW_KEYS
PC_220_DCA NEW_KEYS2
2 Choose a keyboard map for one of the terminal types (for example,
NEW_KEYS) and check its associated keymapping:
Local> SHOW TN3270 KEYMAP NEW_KEYS
3 If the keymapping is what the users require for TN3270 applications, they set
up the port to use the access server-wide terminal type:
Local> SET PORT TN3270 TERMINAL PC_100_DCA
4 The user can now confirm what terminal type and key assignments TN3270
sessions will use at the port:
Local> SHOW PORT TN3270 CHARACTERISTICS
Local> SHOW PORT TN3270 KEYMAP
The port user has set up the port to use an access server-wide customized set
of keymapping assignments without any added memory or complexity.
Port users cannot customize access server-wide keyboard maps. The port users
can customize only the default keyboard maps. See the Customizing a Default
Keyboard Map for a Port section in this chapter.
