MAP3270(5) MAP3270(5) NAME map3270 - database for mapping ascii keystrokes into IBM 3270 keys SYNOPSIS /etc/map3270 DESCRIPTION When emulating IBM-syle 3270 terminals under UNIX (see tn3270(1)), a mapping must be performed between sequences of keys hit on a user’s (ascii) keyboard, and the keys that are available on a 3270. For exam‐ ple, a 3270 has a key labeled EEOF which erases the contents of the current field from the location of the cursor to the end. In order to accomplish this function, the terminal user and a program emulating a 3270 must agree on what keys will be typed to invoke the EEOF function. The requirements for these sequences are: 1.) that the first character of the sequence be outside of the standard ascii printable characters; 2.) that no one sequence be an initial part of another (although sequences may share initial parts). FORMAT The file consists of entries for various terminals. The first part of an entry lists the names of the terminals which use that entry. These names should be the same as in /etc/termcap (see termcap(5)); note that often the terminals from various termcap entries will all use the same map3270 entry; for example, both 925 and 925vb (for 925 with visual bells) would probably use the same map3270 entry. After the names, separated by vertical bars (‘|’), comes a left brace (‘{’); the defini‐ tions; and, finally, a right brace (‘}’). The definitions consist of a reserved keyword (see list below) which identifies the 3270 function (extended as defined below), followed by an equal sign (‘=’), followed by the various ways to generate this par‐ ticular function, followed by a semi-colon (‘;’). Each way is a sequence of strings of printable ascii characters enclosed inside sin‐ gle quotes (‘´’); various ways (options) are separated by vertical bars (‘|’). Inside the single quotes, a few characters are special. A caret (‘^’) specifies that the next character is the ‘‘control’’ character of what‐ ever the character is. So, ‘^a’ represents control-a, ie: hexadecimal 1 (note that ‘^A’ would generate the same code). To generate rubout, one enters ‘^?’. To represent a control character inside a file requires using the caret to represent a control sequence; simply typing control-A will not work. Note: the ctrl-caret sequence (to generate a hexadecimal 1E) is represented as ‘^^’ (not ‘^\^’). In addition to the caret, a letter may be preceeded by a backslash (‘\’). Since this has little effect for most characters, its use is usually not recommended. For the case of a single quote (‘´’), the backslash prevents that single quote from terminating the string. To have the backslash be part of the string, it is necessary to place two backslashes (’\\’) in the file. In addition, the following characters are special: ‘\E’ means an escape character; ‘\n’ means newline; ‘\t’ means tab; ‘\r’ means carriage return. It is not necessary for each character in a string to be enclosed within single quotes. ‘\E\E\E’ means three escape characters. Comments, which may appear anywhere on a line, begin with a hash mark (‘#’), and terminate at the end of that line. However, comments cannot begin inside a quoted string; a hash mark inside a quoted string has no special meaning. 3270 KEYS SUPPORTED The following is the list of 3270 key names that are supported in this file. Note that some of the keys don’t really exist on a 3270. In particular, the developers of this file have relied extensively on the work at the Yale University Computer Center with their 3270 emulator which runs in an IBM Series/1 front end. The following list corre‐ sponds closely to the functions that the developers of the Yale code offer in their product. In the following list, the starred ("*") functions are not supported by tn3270(1). An unsupported function will cause tn3270(1) to send a bell sequence to the user’s terminal. 3270 Key Name Functional description (*)LPRT local print DP dup character FM field mark character (*)CURSEL cursor select RESHOW redisplay the screen EINP erase input EEOF erase end of field DELETE delete character INSRT toggle insert mode TAB field tab BTAB field back tab COLTAB column tab COLBAK column back tab INDENT indent one tab stop UNDENT undent one tab stop NL new line HOME home the cursor UP up cursor DOWN down cursor RIGHT right cursor LEFT left cursor SETTAB set a column tab DELTAB delete a columntab SETMRG set left margin SETHOM set home position CLRTAB clear all column tabs (*)APLON apl on (*)APLOFF apl off (*)APLEND treat input as ascii (*)PCON xon/xoff on (*)PCOFF xon/xoff off DISC disconnect (suspend) (*)INIT new terminal type (*)ALTK alternate keyboard dvorak FLINP flush input ERASE erase last character WERASE erase last word FERASE erase field SYNCH we are in synch with the user RESET reset key-unlock keyboard MASTER_RESET reset, unlock and redisplay (*)XOFF please hold output (*)XON please give me output ESCAPE enter telnet command mode WORDTAB tab to beginning of next word WORDBACKTAB tab to beginning of current/last word WORDEND tab to end of current/next word FIELDEND tab to last non-blank of current/next unprotected (writable) field.

The definition of "word" (for "word delete", "word tab") should be a run-time option. Currently it is defined as the kernel tty driver defines it (strings of non-blanks); more than one person would rather use the "vi" definition (strings of specials, strings of alphanumeric). 4.3 Berkeley Distribution January 11, 1986 MAP3270(5)
