Requesting a 3270 Screen Object

The XML to request a 3270 screen object is as follows:

<ScreenTn3270>
        <Tn3270con>
                <Tcp3270con HostName="yourhost.com" PortNumber="23"\>
        <\Tn3270con>
        <ReadXlat XlateFileName=""\>
<\ScreenTn3270>

Additional ScreenTn3270 XML parameters are shown in the table below. Except where noted, these parameters use the following syntax:

name="value"

where name is the name of a parameter and value is a valid value for that parameter. These tags should be placed within the object being defined. For example, to add the TextCase parameter, the first line of the XML shown above would be changed from

<ScreenTn3270>
to 
<ScreenTn3270 TextCase="Lower">

The default values are shown in bold in the Value column or given in the Description column. If a parameter is not included in the Web page, its default value is used automatically.
