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; see Keyboard mapping in cicsterm for
details.
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® Universal Client.
Columns 17 – 24.
- Server name
- The server to which cicsterm is connected. Columns 27 – 35.
- Upper case
- 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.
