LINKUP 5294 WITH DL5294 FIRMWARE
90
The System/3X host will reset (turn off) this indicator after it has completed the requested data
processing. (Operator errors will also set this indicator.) Only SYS REQ and ATTN are valid while
input is inhibited.
AWFER —
Awaiting Field Exit Required indicator is set (turned on) when data is entered into the
last position of a field that the host has marked as requiring the function of Field Exit to be invoked.
It is reset once the field is exited. (On an actual Model 11 workstation the cursor blinks to indicate
AWFER.)
• Support for a 25th-line Status Line display is available for the following terminals: Hazeltine
®
Esprit™
10/51, Lear Siegler
®
ADM-ii, TeleVideo
®
925, Wyse
®
30, Cybernex XLB-5291, Rebus 3000, and
FileLynx
®
/5251. The status display is exactly the same as it had been on Line 24, and the Toggle
Status Indicators keystroke is accessed in the same manner.
Because of design characteristics of the Wyse 30 and the Cybernex XLB-5291, the ERROR nnnn-
mmmm portion of the Status Line in columns 64 through 79 of the 25th line is sometimes unable to
display at the proper times. As this part of the Status Line is displayed only in the event of an error
between the LinkUp 5294 and the System/3X this limitation should be of little or no consequence to
you.
NOTE
Although the Status Line displays on Row 24, the LinkUp 5294 does not cause normal
data to be lost at its expense. Instead, whenever the host or terminal operator attempts
to write data to that row, the LinkUp 5294 automatically turns the Status Line off and
displays the normal data.
10.2 5250 Keyboard Functions
Most of the 5250 keyboard functions are implemented by the LinkUp 5294 modules in a manner most
suited to the keyboard layout of the particular terminal the module is designed for. See
Appendix G
for
the module-specific key sequences of each function.
These are the 5250 keyboard functions supported by the LinkUp 5294:
Cursor Movement Keys
•
Character Backspace
moves the cursor left one position, while always keeping the cursor in a non-
bypass field. If the cursor is at the beginning of a field, pressing this key moves the cursor to the last
position of the previous non-bypass field.
•
Cursor Up/Down
moves the cursor vertically one line, wrapping around the screen if necessary.
•
Cursor Left/Right
moves the cursor horizontally one space, wrapping to the next or previous row if
necessary.
•
Cursor Fast Left/Fast Right
causes the cursor to move horizontally three spaces, wrapping to the
next or previous row if necessary.
•
Field Advance
positions the cursor at the start of the next unprotected field, wrapping around the
screen if necessary.
•
Field Backspace
moves the cursor to the start of the previous non-bypass field.
•
New Line
positions the cursor at the start of the first non-bypass field on the next line.
