The sendKeys method sends characters and function keys to a host. Function keys, such as Transmit, are represented with codes called mnemonics.
You can send keys using either the brace style or the @ sign style. (The @ style mnemonics are case-sensitive.
The following sections provide the mnemonics that represent the function keys for 3270, 5250, and VT.
The following table provides the mnemonics that represent the function keys for a 3270 session.
