The reserved name in a map3270 deﬁnition is followed by an equal sign (=) and one or more ASCII

key sequences, each of which is enclosed in single quotation marks. Within a map3270 ASCII

sequence, a caret (^) introduces a control character (or a control-character sequence), and ESC is

represented as backslash E (\E).

If more than one sequence can be used for the same IBM function, a vertical bar separates the

sequences. For example, in the map3270 ﬁle shown in the preceding example, the IBM clear

function is deﬁned as either of the following sequences: ^z or \EOM.

From an ASCII terminal in tn3270 emulation mode, you enter the key sequences as follows:

To enter a nonprinting character (that is, a character preceded by ^ in map3270), hold down

the CTRL key while you enter the character. For example, to enter '^z', hold down the CTRL

key while typing z. If there is a second character in the key sequence, hold down the CTRL

key, type the ﬁrst character, release the CTRL key, and then type the second character. For

example, to enter the sequence '^pp', hold down the CTRL key while typing p, then release

CTRL and type another p. CTRL sequences are not case-sensitive; '^p' and '^P' generate the

same ASCII code.

To enter an escape character (that is, a character preceded by \E in map3270), press the ESC

key, release it, and then enter each character in the sequence. For example, if you were to enter

the three-character sequence '\EOM', you would press the ESC key, release it, and then type

an uppercase O followed by an uppercase M (ESC sequences contain case-sensitive characters).
