If you have a 3277 or 3278 display station equipped with the Data
Analysis Text keyboard, you can key in, as well as display, all of the
special text characters. For a description of these characters, see the These characters are in addition to those available with standard EBCDIC 3270 terminals. If you have a suitably equipped printer attached to
your 3270, you can use the SET PFnn COpy function to obtain a printed
copy of the screen. When you want to activate the text feature, and use the special
characters, enter the command:
cp terminal text on
The TERMINAL TEXT ON command automatically forces the TERMINAL APL OFF command. Now, you can use any of the special characters when you enter,
change, or locate text lines in a file. ERROR SITUATIONS If you do not have the appropriate text hardware feature on your 3270, but attempt to display a file that contains the characters, the
characters appear as blanks on a 3277, and as hyphens on a 3276 and a
3278.
If you inadvertently issue the TERMINAL TEXT ON command while using a
terminal that does not have the text capability, you must do the
following to return to normal operating procedures:
1. Press the PA1 key to enter the CP environment.
2. Key in, in uppercase letters only, the command line: TERMINAL TEXT OFF LEAVING THE TEXT ENVIRONMENT You leave the special text environment by entering the command:
cp terminal text off 1. The 3270 text hardware feature is activated by a key, not a switch.
Each time you press the TEXT On/Off key, you reverse its setting. When the red light on the text keyboard is illuminated, the text
feature is on.
2. Compound characters, such as a character/backspace/character
combination, are still entered and displayed as three characters.
The screen position occupied by the backspace character appears as
a blank hecause the character (X'16') is nondisplayable.
