IBM 3270 terminals (IODEV = 29)
This section summarizes the information need to use IBM 3270s (and
compatible terminals) operating in line-at-a-time mode under CICS.
Output parameters
As soon as the Model 204 connection is made, the CICS interface sets the
following output parameters to the default values shown in “CICS interface
output parameters for IODEV 29” on page 50.
Pausing and canceling output
At the end of each page of output or after 23 lines have been displayed, the
CICS interface pauses to allow you to interrupt Model 204 or to cancel the
current request if too much output is being received. The CICS interface
indicates that it is in pause mode by displaying the greater than sign (>) prompt
in the 25th column of the 24th line on the display screen.
Valid user responses are:
• Press the PA1 key. The current request or operation is canceled, the
screen is erased, and the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the first
line. Model 204 is then ready to accept terminal input from the user.
• Press the PA2 key. The current screen image is printed on a 3284 or 3286
hard-copy printer, as described in the section “CICS printer”.
• Press Enter or enter any other character (except C or P). The interface
goes on to the next page.
CICS printer
The contents of the current 3270 screen can be routed to a printer in the CICS
network by pressing the PA2 key.
