Personal Computer Keyboards
If your personal computer uses the Client Access Workstation Function (WSF), you
can display the layout of your 5250 keyboard using the Work Station Function Keys
(WSFKEYS) command. You can alter the style using the Configure Work Station
Function (CFGWSF) command. These commands are discussed in the
Client
Access/400 for DOS with Extended Memory Setup
book. If your personal computer
does not use the workstation function, refer to the appropriate documentation for
your emulator (for example, OS/2 CM/2) to view or change the keyboard style.
TN3270—Minus Sign
If you specified the value *YES for the numeric lock keyboard parameter of the
STRTCPTELN command, if you are using a data entry keyboard, and if the cursor
is located in a numeric-only field, then do the following to display a minus sign.
To display a 5250 minus sign:
1. Press the Num (Numeric) key.
2. Press the minus sign (−) key.
To display a 3278 minus sign, press the minus sign key.
TN3270—Page Down and Page Up
If the 3270 application has a display that does not allow all the input data fields to
be viewed, use the 5250 Page Down and Page Up keys to enter data when the
maximum number of input fields on the display is exceeded.
You can also assign PF and PA functions to the page keys by specifying their use
on the STRTCPTELN command.
The cursor always appears as an underline on both 5250 and 3270 displays.
