Chapter 6: HostConnect Terminal Emulation Session

707027-002

• Displays an X when input is inhibited, usually because the session is

waiting for data from the host system. If instead, input is inhibited
due to a user error, a four-digit error code may also be displayed inside
the Session Display Area.

• When indicator #2 shows that input is inhibited, indicator #3 displays

the cause: an hourglass if the session is waiting for data from the host
system; a question mark if input is inhibited due to a user error. Also,
when input is not inhibited (i.e. indicator #2 is blank), indicator #3
will display a “stick man” when the session is connected
to the host SSCP (System Service Control Point) rather than the normal
LU-LU connection.

• Displays a caret “^” when Insert mode is active.

• Displays a “d” character in script when Diacritic mode is active.

• Displays “>>” characters when type-ahead is activated.

• Displays an arrow when keyboard-shift is in effect.

The current row/column position of the text cursor is shown to the right
of the last indicator followed in left to right order by:

• The IP address of the host system.

• Name for a TN3270E connection or terminal type.

• A message area.
