Status Line Information
How the Status Line Is Displayed
The “Status line displayed at startup” option in the Customize
Miscellaneous Options dialog box (see Chapter 6, “Customizing 3270
Emulation,”) specifies which mode the program uses when it first starts
up.
While the program is running, you can switch between the two modes
using the STAT TOG (Status Line Toggle) key (default keystroke Ctrl + W).
If you press STAT TOG while the status line is shown, the status line
disappears, and the status line display mode changes to “on when
required” mode; that is, it reappears when there is a new Do Not Enter
or Communications Check message to be displayed. If you press STAT
TOG while the status line is not shown, the status line reappears, and
the status line display mode changes to always on mode.
If the status line is shared with the last line of the 3270 emulation
display, the STAT TOG key also switches between showing the status
line and showing the last line of the 3270 emulation display. If you press
STAT TOG while the status line is shown, to move into “on when
required” mode, the last line of the 3270 emulation display appears
instead. If you press STAT TOG while the last line of the 3270 emulation
display is shown, the status line appears instead.
Motif The status line is always displayed as a separate line below the 3270
emulation display and is not shared with the last display line. The STAT
TOG key is not supported in the Motif program.

Status Line Display for Keystroke Recording
and Replay
When you use the RECORD or REPLAY keys (see “Keystroke Recording
and Replay”), the status line display is temporarily replaced by a list of
the identifiers assigned to recorded keystroke sequences. The normal
status line display is restored when you select an identifier for the
keystroke sequence to record or replay.
Status Line Help
To obtain more information about the contents of the current session's
status line, you can use the key STAT HELP (default keystroke Ctrl + O) to
display a screen of help information. This screen interprets the status
