chapter 6
This chapter describes features of the IBM 3270 terminal emulation.
The IBM 3270 emulator provides emulation of all four models of the IBM 3278 alphanu-
meric terminal and also supports the IBM 3287-1 printer. The terminal emulation supports
Extended Attribute mode that allows different representation of highlighted fields and per-
mits host definition of text colors. (Note that you can modify colors using the Attribute
Settings dialog box but they cannot be saved as colors are mapped differently in this
mode.) The emulation also includes typeahead capability so that you can continue to enter
data without waiting for a prompt from the host.
Special key functions that are provided on the IBM 3270 keyboard can be mapped to any
key on your keyboard by using the IB virtual key names listed in the Define Keyboard
Macros dialog box.
