Chapter 9. Device Options

Windowing

The Windowing feature enables you to create up to five windows on a CUT mode
display station. These windows can simultaneously display five of the concurrent logical
sessions that are possible with the Multiple Logical Sessions (MLS) feature. You can
size, move, add, delete, and zoom windows, and you can copy data from one window to
another. In addition, you can set up windowing screen profiles that contain different
arrangements of windows.

Calculator

LINCS provides a four-function nonscientific calculator accessible from a CUT mode
display station. The calculator allows you to perform quick and accurate calculations
without exiting your host session. The calculator performs operations in decimal (base
10), hexadecimal (base 16), or octal (base 8) mode.

The calculator uses Feature Memory from the Presentation Space Storage.

Typeahead

With the Typeahead feature, you can continue to type data after the 3270 protocol locks
the keyboard or during a printer busy condition. The keystrokes are queued and processed
when the input inhibit is cleared. The feature permits the queuing and subsequent
processing of up to 64 keystrokes.

RPB Record Function

This field determines whether or not devices assigned to the profile have the capability
to “record” using the Record/Playback feature. Record/Playback sequences can be
created to help automate commonly used sequences, to help improve user speed and
reliability. Devices which are not allowed to record may playback any sequences
which have been defined as global sequences, if authorized in the Resource
Authorization Matrix.

Display Host ID

If this option is ENABLED, the Host Identifier will be displayed on the status line of
sessions connected to a host. The host identifier is displayed as follows.

3270 Host – If a session is connected to a 3270 Host, then the Host Identifier will be

displayed, along with the LU number. Whether the LU number is displayed in hex
or decimal is set in the General Options panel.

ASCII Host – If a session is connected to an ASCII Host Class, then the Class Name

is the Host Identifier. If the session is connected to a specific ASCII Port (A0-A7),
then the Host Identifier is Host_XX where XX represents the ASCII host which the
session is connected to (A0-A7).
