Differences in Func:tion forlhe 3270 and Terminals AHached to 3708
This section describes the differences in function for the 3270 terminals and terminals
attached to the 3708. Some of these differences are described previously in this
chapter.
• The 3708 provides several functions not available on a 3270. These are
described in "Non-3270 Functions" on page 2-10.
• As described previously in this chapter, the terminal that you attach to the 3708
may provide typematic keys and cursor appearance control that differ from an
actual 3270 terminal. You must become familiar with your specific terminl:ll
type to use the functions that it provides.
• The ERASE EOF function clears only to the end of the current line. On a 3270
terminal, this function clears all characters remaining in the field, including those
on subsequent lines.
• The Insert function allows you to insert characters only to the end of the current
line. On a 3270 terminal, if you insert characters into the middle of a field that
spans more than one line, all characters in the field are shifted. The character
on the end of one line is moved to the beginning of the next line.
• When using the Print function, the port number· of the printer actually executing
the print is not shown on the status line. Instead, PRNT appears in the position
where the Print ID is normally shown. On a 3270 terminal, when printing is in
progress, the port number of the selected printer is shown instead of the Print
ID.
