NAME

t3279 − IBM 3270 terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

t3279 [ −dgiotvz ] [ inputfile ]

DESCRIPTION

The t3279 program (1) presents a 24-item menu to allow the user to (2) emulate a 3278/9 terminal, (3) execute mainframe program remote graphics, (4) send a binary file from mainframe to IRIS or IRIS to mainframe.  The menu items (5) and (6) are used for Geometry Link hardware diagnosis.  Items (7) and greater are useful for application development.  Item (19) is useful if the mainframe does not seem to respond to your keystrokes.  It emulates the “test” switch on a 3278 and causes a “Device End” Interrupt on the channel.  CTRL-T emulates the “test key” on the 3278 keyboard.  OPTIONS

−d log the 3278 screen text in pxlog

−g log the RGL annotations in LOGFILE.x

−i RGL input is from inputfile, an RDDATA type file

−o create read/write logs RDDATA.x and WRDATA.x of the RGL

−t use 3278 textport emulation rather than graphport

−v use v50 emulation of 3278 textport rather than graphport

−z interpret RGL ginit commands as gbegin
