5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD
Appendix E: Keyboard Templates
Table E-1 below gives a general definition for each 5250 (host) key. Use the
table with the keyboard templates on the next eight pages to keep track of
where the functions you need are. There is one keyboard template for
each possible combination of PC Keyboard
and Emulated Keyboard (see
Section 6.2.2). In addition, there are two pairs of templates for the
Enhanced keyboard, one for the USA / CAN (ORIG)
language and one
for the USA / CAN (TERM)
langauge (see Section 6.2.3). (We’ve included
an Emulator Card template with each keyboard template to give you a set
of single-page quick reference guides.)
Use the information in this appendix with that in Appendix D when you
want to customize your keyboard’s scan codes.
Table E-1. Key Functions
5250 Keys Functions of the Keys
[CMD] Causes the host to disregard the normal function
of a repeating key and perform the function
assigned in the host’s program instead.
[DEL] Deletes the character where the cursor is located.
[DUP] Requests that the host program duplicate the data
from the same field in the previous record.
[ERASE INPUT] Erases data entered in all input fields. The cursor
will move to the top left corner of the screen.
[ERROR RESET] Unlocks keyboard after it is locked because of an
error condition. Will also reset the help, insert,
command, and system-request modes.
[FIELD +] Can be used as a field-exit key in all fields.
[FIELD –] Operates much like the [FIELD +] key, but in
signed-numeric and numeric fields only.
[FIELD EXIT] Used to exit fields that are specified in a program
as field-exit required, or as right-justified.
[HELP] Describes the current error condition. The
[ERROR RESET] key will reset the help
message
and error condition to restore the screen and
unlock the keyboard.
