Although cicsterm is
accessible, it relies on the application that is being processed to
define an accessible 3270 screen.
Keyboard mapping depends on the terminal type that you are using,
for more information, see
Keyboard mapping for cicsterm.
The bottom row of
cicsterm contains
status information. The following list shows this information, as
it appears from left to right:
- Status
- For example, 1B is displayed while cicsterm is
connecting to a server. Displayed at columns 1 – 3.
- Terminal name
- Also referred to as LU Name. Columns 4 – 7.
- Action
- For example, X-System, indicating that you cannot enter
text in the terminal window because cicsterm is
waiting for a response from the server. Columns 9 – 16.
- Error number
- Errors in the form CCLNNNN, relating to the CICS Transaction Gateway. Columns
17 – 24.
- Server name
- The server to which cicsterm is connected. Columns 27 – 35.
- Uppercase
- An up arrow is displayed when the Shift key is pressed. Column
42.
- Caps Lock
- A capital A is displayed when Caps Lock is on. Column 43.
- Insert on
- The caret symbol (‸) is displayed if text will be inserted, rather
than overwriting existing text. If you have difficulty seeing the
caret, change the font face and size, or use a screen magnifier to
increase the size of the status line. Column 52.
- Cursor position
- The cursor position, in the form ROW/COLUMN, where ROW is a two-digit
number, and COLUMN a three-digit number. The top left of the screen
is 01/001. Column 75–80.
Note: You might need to change the default
behavior of your screen reader if it reads only the last digit of
the cursor position. Customize your screen reader to specify that
columns 75–80 of the status row are to be treated as one field. This
will cause the full area to be read when any digit changes.
