The sendKeys method (of the ScreenTn3270 object) sends characters and function keys to a 3270 terminal session. Function keys, such as the Transmit key, are represented with codes called mnemonics. Use the table below to identify the mnemonic that represents a particular 3270 function key.
You can send keys using either the brace style or the @ sign style.
 |
The @ style mnemonics are case-sensitive. For example, @D represents Delete, whereas @d represents PF13. |
| 3270 Terminal Keystroke | Function | Mnemonic (brace style) |
Mnemonic (@ style) |
|---|---|---|---|
| @ sign | Enters the @ sign. | n/a | @@ |
| Attention | Sends an attention signal to the host. You can use this function to disconnect from the host, send special keys, or otherwise change the session's current activity. |
{ATTN} | @A@Q |
| Backspace | Moves the cursor one column to the left without deleting any characters unless the ScreenTn3270 XML parameter BackSpaceKey is set to "Delete".
If the cursor is in the first column of a line, it moves to the last column of the preceding line. If it is home, it moves to the last column of the last line of the page. |
{Backspace} | @< |
| Clear | Clears the screen and moves the cursor home. | {Clear} | @C |
| Cursor down | Moves the cursor down one line. If the cursor is in the bottom line of a page, it moves to the top line. |
{CursorDown} | @V |
| Cursor left | Moves the cursor one column to the left. If the cursor is in the first column of a line, it moves to the last column of the preceding line. If it is in the first column of the first line of the page, it moves to the last column of the last line of the page. |
{CursorLeft} | @L |
| Cursor right | Moves the cursor one column to the right. If the cursor is in the last column of a line, it moves to the first column of the next line. If it is in the last column of the last line of the page, it moves to the first column of the first line of the page. |
{CursorRight} | @Z |
| Cursor select | Provides light pen simulation. | {CursorSelect} | @A@J |
| Cursor up | Moves the cursor up one line in the same column. If the cursor is in the top line of a page, it moves to the bottom line. |
{CursorUp} | @U |
| Delete | Deletes the character that the cursor is on and shifts the remaining characters on the line to the left. | {Delete} | @D |
| Enter | Sends data to the host. | {Enter} or {Transmit} | @E |
| Erase EOF | Clears all unprotected data from the cursor location to the end of the field. The cursor remains in the current position. | {ClearToEndOfField} | @F |
| Erase input | Clears all the data in unprotected fields and moves the cursor to the beginning of the first unprotected field. | {EraseInput} | @A@F |
| F1-F9 | Perform host-defined functions. | {F1}-{F9} or {PF1}-{PF9} |
@1-@9 |
| F10 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F10} or {PF10} | @a |
| F11 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F11} or {PF11} | @b |
| F12 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F12} or {PF12} | @c |
| F13 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F13} or {PF13} | @d |
| F14 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F14} or {PF14} | @e |
| F15 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F15} or {PF15} | @f |
| F16 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F16} or {PF16} | @g |
| F17 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F17} or {PF17} | @h |
| F18 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F18} or {PF18} | @i |
| F19 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F19} or {PF19} | @j |
| F20 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F20} or {PF20} | @k |
| F21 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F21} or {PF21} | @l |
| F22 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F22} or {PF22} | @m |
| F23 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F23} or {PF23} | @n |
| F24 | Performs a host-defined function. | {F24} or {PF24} | @o |
| Home | Moves the cursor home. | {Home} | @0 (zero) |
| Insert | Toggles between overwrite mode and insert mode. This keystroke might also insert a space at the cursor location, depending on the session configuration. |
{InsertToggle} | @A@I |
| New line | Moves the cursor to first unprotected field on the next line. | {NewLine} | @N |
| Reset | Unlocks the keyboard. The keyboard might become locked if you try to type data while the cursor is in a protected field, and in other circumstances. The status line indicates that the keyboard is locked by displaying an x plus one of several other symbols. |
{Reset} | @R |
| Tab | Moves the cursor to the next tab stop. If tab stops were not set, this keystroke moves the cursor home. In forms mode, this keystroke moves the cursor to the next unprotected field. |
{Tab} | @T |
| Tab back | Moves the cursor to the previous tab stop. If tabs were not set, this keystroke moves the cursor home. In forms mode, this keystroke moves the cursor to the previous unprotected field. |
{Backtab} | @B |
