Overview of 3270 Operations
see “Keystroke Recording and Replay”. This message is
displayed as RECORD nn or REPLAY nn, where nn is a
number (1–24) that identifies the PF key associated
with the keystroke sequence.
The message BUFFER LOW (mm) can also appear in
this position if you are recording a keystroke sequence
and are approaching the limit of 1500 characters; mm
is the number of further keystrokes you can enter
before reaching the limit.
Host Session
This message identifies the TCP/IP host being used by
this session. This name is specified in the configuration
file.
Cursor Position
The Cursor Position message gives the current position
of the cursor on the screen.
Session ID
The Session ID message gives the ID of this session, if
a session is assigned. For more information about
assigning session IDs, see “Customizing Display
Sessions” and “Starting the TN3270 Emulation
Program”.
A session ID taken from the style file is always in the
range A–Z, but a session ID specified on the command
line may not be in this range. Any session ID not in the
range A–Z is displayed as an asterisk ( * ).
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 displays text
strings that interpret the status line information for the current session.
The help screen displays information about the following:
• Session state
• TN3270 emulation program state (for example, a communications
check code or a Do Not Enter message)
• Input state (Insert/Replace, numeric, and cursor width)
• Host session
