90 Chapter 3
Getting Started with 3270 Emulation
Keystroke Recording and Replay
You can record up to 1500 keystrokes in one sequence. If you enter more
than 1475 keystrokes, a warning beep sounds, and the RECORD nn
message on the status line is replaced by BUFFER LOW (mm). The
number of keystrokes remaining is displayed as mm and is decremented
as you continue to enter keystrokes.
Step 4. To complete recording when you have finished entering keystrokes, press
the RECORD key again. The keystroke sequence is saved; you can replay
it using the same PF key you used to record it (see “Replaying a
Keystroke Sequence”).
To abandon recording and return to normal 3270 emulation, press QUIT
(default keystroke Ctrl + T). The keystrokes you have entered are not
recorded; any previous sequence assigned to this PF key is left
unchanged.
Replaying a Keystroke Sequence
Use the following steps to replay a key sequence you have already
recorded:
Step 1. Press the REPLAY key (default keystroke Esc
P).
The status line changes to display the message REPLAY
PF KEY, as shown in the following example. It also displays a list of
numbers enclosed in brackets; these are the numbers of the PF keys that
have key sequences associated with them.
REPLAY PF KEY (1 4 11 12 15 21)
Step 2. To continue keystroke replay, press any PF key (PF1–PF24) whose
number is shown in the list, to identify the sequence to replay. The
default keystrokes are F1–F12 for PF1–PF12, and Esc F1–Esc F12 for
PF13–PF24.
To abandon keystroke replay and return to normal 3270 emulation, press
QUIT (default keystroke Ctrl + T).
If you selected a valid PF key, the status line returns to normal; REPLAY
nn is displayed, where nn is the PF key number you selected. The
recorded keystroke sequence is replayed.
