IBM 3270 Emulation

Do Not Enter

The Do Not Enter () symbol will appear when input from the keyboard or mouse will not be accepted by the host (except Reset and SysReq). Symbols to the right of this will indicate the reason. Pressing the Reset key will remove some of these symbols from the status line. Note that the emulation includes typeahead capability so that in most cases you can continue to enter data without waiting for the Do Not Enter message to clear as the data will be stored until the host is ready.

PROGnnn Indicates that a programming error in the data from the host has been detected, possibly due to incompatible application soft- ware. Press the Reset or SysReq key to remove this indicator and unlock the keyboard.

 

 

Indicates that you must wait while the requested function is

 

 

performed.

NUM

Indicates that you tried to enter an invalid character into a nu-

 

 

meric field when the numeric-lock feature was active. The

 

 

keyboard numeric-lock feature can be overridden by using a

 

 

Shift key. The keyboard can be unlocked and the indicator

 

 

removed by pressing the Reset key.

 

 

Indicates that you tried to enter data in the wrong location. This

 

 

 

 

will occur when you attempt to do any of the following:

 

 

Enter, insert, erase, or delete a character when the cursor is in a

 

 

protected field or at a field attribute location.

 

 

Perform a cursor-select operation when the cursor is not in a

 

 

valid cursor-select field.

 

 

The keyboard can be unlocked and the indicator removed by

 

 

pressing the Reset key.

SYSTEM

Indicates that you cannot enter any data because the application

 

 

program has disabled the keyboard following an entry.

>

Indicates that you attempted to insert characters into an unpro-

 

 

tected field when the cursor was at the end of the field, or you

 

 

attempted to word wrap to the next line when there were not

 

 

enough spaces to enable a word wrap.

 

 

The keyboard can be unlocked and the indicator removed by

 

 

pressing the Reset key.
