Chapter 10. Copying Text From Window To Window - IBM 3270 Manual

Chapter 10. Copying Text from
Window to Window
With some limitations, you can copy a block of
text from one place in a window to another place
in the same window. You can also copy text
from one window into another window.
Limitations
You should know about these limitations:
• Some PC application programs will not let
you copy within or into a personal computer
window. The text may appear in the window
but the program will not accept it.
You can always copy from a PC window into
a host or notepad window.
Some PC programs that allow you to copy,
need a Program Information File (PIF). If
you have difficulty copying in your PC
windows, contact your supervisor or the
person you call for hrlp with using your
computer. You can also read IBM 3270 PC
Control Program Reference for information on
defining your application programs to the
system (Chapter 6).
• When you copy from a PC window into a host
window, some of the characters in the PC
window may appear as blanks when they are
copied into the host window. These are
ASCII characters that your host can't display.
