Re: tn3270 to an AS400

IBM AS/400 uses an internal 3270 to 5250 data stream conversion routine in
OS/400. The PF keys do not map directly to the 5250 Cmd key sequences. Some
5250 sequences are unique to that environment, etc. Log on to the 3270 session
and issue the command:
DSPKBDMAP

to find out the current mapping. Certain key sequences are PAn followed by PFn,
etc. The mapping can be changed using CHGKBDMAP command in an initial program,
or issued interactively.

Hope this helps.

PS: TN5250 client is a lot more useable, but I don't know if we are ported to
Intergraph or not.
