Restrictions with Home3270 Attachment
When you use the Home3270 attachment, the following edit functions
are restricted:
- Undo function
- You cannot perform the Undo function after using the Cut, Paste, PasteNext, or Clear functions because these functions modify display areas in the protocol converter.
- Cut and Clear functions
- When an area to be cut or cleared contains a field attribute
character or protected field, or each line in that area ends at the
end of an unprotected field, the following things might occur:
- Characters in an unprotected field outside the area to be cut or cleared might also be cleared.
- An alarm might sound.
- The cursor might not appear at the initial position.
When you perform the Cut or Clear function, specify only the minimum area required (for example, some words or one field in one line), and then confirm that the frame exists in an unprotected field.
- Paste and PasteNext functions
- When the area to be pasted contains a field attribute character
or protected field, or the end of the paste area on each line is at
the end of an unprotected field, the following things might occur:
- The character to be pasted might not be written to the expected position.
- An alarm might sound.
- The cursor might not appear at the initial position.
When you use the paste function, paste the shortest character string possible (for example, a character string, but excluding CR/LF). Confirm that the area to be pasted is in an unprotected field.
Note:A 5250 emulator session might log off when an ellipsis character is pasted from a Microsoft Word document. Once transformed from ASCII to EBCDIC, the ellipsis character falls in a range (iSeries treats as invalid). To address the problem, add the following keyword to the 5250 session WS file:[Edit] IgnoreInvalidChar=Y
