Paste Field
The paste field is the field that receives the data from the mark field. The paste field must
be an unprotected field. Standard data truncation rules apply when the paste and mark
fields are of different lengths. If the paste field is longer than the mark field, data is
replaced in the paste field only up to the length of the mark field. If the paste field is
shorter than the mark field, data is truncated up to the length of the paste field. The data
that has been pasted is temporary until you press an Aid key (Enter or F key). To paste the
data you select using the Copy/Paste, position the cursor with the mouse and press Alt V.
Copy/Paste From Calculator to TN3270 Session
All entries on the calculator are automatically stored into the clipboard, therefore, there is
no need to copy the field. Perform the calculation you require, switch back to the session
and place the cursor where the data is required. Press
Alt V to paste the calculated field.
Note: Every entry on the calculator overrides the buffer in the clipboard. Only the last
entry/calculation is available.
Recommended reference guide
TN3270 allows you to configure special features and to temporarily suspend/resume a
host session. You may need to configure new 3278 models as support for them becomes
available, or you may need more information on controlling a host session. Contact your
system administrator or refer to the following reference:
“Yale ASCII Terminal Communication,” System II Program Description/Operator’s Manual
(IBM SB30-1911).
