How to Use
the
Keyboard
Maps
This appendix contains a full
set
of keyboard maps for
ASCII
and 3270 terminals
supported by the 3174Establishment Controller. These keyboard maps allow you
to:
• Use
the
correct
keys on an
ASCII
terminal keyboard to obtain 3270 functions.
•
Use
the
correct
keys on a 3270 terminal
keyboard
to
obtain
ASCIIfunctions.
If
you use several different
ASCII
terminals on a regular basis, however, you may
find It
easier
to
use
the universal keyboard map,
so
that you do not have to
remember the specific map for each keyboard. The universal keyboard map Is the
same
for all display station types, but the correlation between the real key and the
mapped
key Is not always
as
obvious
as
It Is In the specific map for
each
terminal.
Ifyou
choose
the specific map when you
are
connecting to the host, and later find
that you want to
use
the
universal map, the universal map usually works.
For
3270
terminals
being
used
as
either
an
IBM 3101
or
an
DEC VT100,
the
keyboard
map
you
use
depends
on
the
3174 configuration question 702. The
keyboard
map
titles Include
the
response
to question 702. Consult your
system
administrator
to find
out
how
the
3174
has
been
configured.
The
keyboard
maps
are
different
according
to
the
language
being
used.
For U.S.
English,

The

are
made

used
as
3270
terminals:

that
begin
with CTRL,
press
and
hold CTRL
while
pressing
the
other
key.
-
For
some
3270
terminals
used
as
ASCII
terminals,
the
CTRL
key
puts
the
keyboard
Into
Control
Mode
which
allows
you
to
do
one
control
function.
You do
not
have
to hold
the
CTRL key while
pressing
