Getting Started with 3270 Emulation
Keystroke Recording and Replay
Alternatively, to abandon clearing the sequence, press QUIT (default
keystroke Ctrl + T). The recorded sequence is left unchanged, and you
return to normal 3270 emulation.
Saving Keystroke Sequences
Chapter 6, “Customizing 3270 Emulation,” describes how to use style
files to define the appearance and behavior of your 3270 emulation. You
can customize the TN3270 emulation program as you use it, and the
changes you make are immediately reflected in the program. However, if
you want to keep the changes so that you can use the same customization
next time you use the TN3270 emulation program, you must save them
to a style file.
The TN3270 emulation program stores recorded keystroke sequences in
the same way as it stores customization changes. Any keystroke
sequences you record during 3270 emulation are available until you exit
the TN3270 emulation program or until you open a different style file. In
order to keep the sequences you have recorded so that you can use them
later, you must save your 3270 customization to a style file. For more
information, see Chapter 6, “Customizing 3270 Emulation.”
NOTE If you save the style file while you are recording or replaying a key
sequence (even if you have used the PAUSE key to pause recording), you
cannot save the key sequence. The new key sequence (and any previous
key sequence assigned to the same PF key) will be lost; the PF key will
be left without a key sequence assigned. The same applies if you exit the
TN3270 emulation program during recording or replay. To avoid losing
keystroke sequences, always ensure that you have finished recording or
replaying key sequences before saving the style file or exiting the
program.
Multiple Sessions
If you are using more than one 3270 display session at a time, the key
sequences you define are shared among all your sessions. Therefore, you
cannot record a sequence for a particular PF key on one session, and at
the same time record or replay a sequence identified by the same PF key
on another session. For example, your PF key definitions are restricted
as follows:
