3270_hostKeyboardType

This parameter allows the host keyboard type to be set for an IBM3270 session; thus, which characters can be input into a numeric-only field. The effect of each parameter value is shown below.

Value

  • normal (default) -numbers and some symbols: comma (,), period (.), plus (+), and minus (-).

  • typewriter -All characters allowed when value="normal", shifted number key symbols (such as !, @, #, and $); and uppercase letters. (Lowercase letters will appear in uppercase)

  • dataEntry -All characters

Example

<param name="3270_hostKeyboardType" value="normal">

3270_insertProtocol

This parameter is used with IBM 3270 emulation sessions only and specifies what Reflection does if a user attempts to insert a character.

Value

  • firstNull (default) - Reflection makes room for the character being inserted by moving all characters to the right of the insertion point one character to the right until a null is encountered. The null is replaced by a character and all subsequent characters are unchanged. If no null is found, the insertion fails.

  • trailingSpace - Reflection uses the same logic as for firstNull except that if no null is found it looks for a trailing space.

  • trailingChar - Reflection replaces the last character in the insert arena on an insert if neither a null nor a trailing space is found.

Example

<param name="3270_insertProtocol" value="firstNull">
<param name="3270_insertProtocol" value="trailingSpace">
<param name="3270_insertProtocol" value="trailingChar">

3270_keyboardErrorReset

This parameter is used with IBM 3270 emulation sessions only. Standard terminal behavior requires the user to press Reset when an error message appears in the operator information area. Setting 3270_keyboardErrorReset to false (the default) maintains this behavior.

When 3270_keyboardErrorReset is true, the next key pressed clears the error and restores the previous error line data. Reflection attempts to execute the keystroke as follows:

  • If the cursor is in a valid input field and the key is a data key, the data is entered.

  • If the cursor is in a valid input field and the key is a function key, the key operation is executed.

  • If the cursor is not in a valid input field and the key is a data key, the cursor is moved to the next valid input field and the data is entered there (if the data is valid for that field).

  • If the cursor is not in a valid input field and the key is a function key, the cursor is moved to the next valid input field and the key is ignored.

  • If the current screen contains no valid input fields, the user hears a beep with each keystroke and no keystrokes are executed.

Value

true

false (default)

Example

<param name="3270_keyboardErrorReset" value="true">

3270_wordWrap parameter

This parameter is used with IBM 3270 emulation sessions only. The 3270_wordWrap parameter specifies whether text is truncated at the end of the current line (false) or wrapped to the next available line (true) in a multi-line field.

true

false (default)

Example

<param name="3270_wordWrap" value="true">
