6.1.4 - Customizing 5250 Emulation
Various 5250 emulation parameters can be modified but generally the default values are the most
suitable.
To customize the 5250 emulation, enter the AX3000 Set-Up and select the session profile
([Configuration]-[Sessions]-[Session X] menu). Three groups of parameters control 5250
emulation settings:
- General Parameters: 5250 emulation behavior,
- User-defined Sequences: mapping 5250 functions to any PC keyboard keys.
- Palette: remapping emulation colors.
a) 5250 Emulation General Parameters
The following box is displayed:
These parameters are:
- EBCDIC Character Set: possible values are:
- National (characters are keyboard nationality dependent),
- Multinational.
- A specific keyboard nationality (American, French…).
- Cursor Shape: Line, Half-Block or Block.
Note: to change the cursor shape from a 5250 session press <Alt><F11> (or <Alt Gr><F11>
with a PC keyboard).
- Cursor Style: Blinking or Steady.
- CAPS Key Mode : set the CAPS LOCK to behave in either of three ways:
- Caps Lock: each alphabetical key sends the corresponding upper case letter. To
unlock this mode press the <CAPS> key.
- Shift Lock: each key send the same character sent by pressing <Shift><This key>. To
unlock this mode press a <Shift> key.
- Uppercase: each key send the upper character if it is present. Otherwise, this is the
lower character (upper-case letter if possible) which is sent. <Shift> key acts in the
standard way (whatever the CAPS key). To unlock this mode press the <CAPS> key.
