The following limits on copying apply:
• Data cannot be copied to protected screens or protected fields.
• The area to receive the data must be large enough to accept the copied input.
• All nondisplay field attribute characters in the source session are translated to spaces in
the target session.
• Intensified field attributes in the source session are ignored.
• Field attribute positions in the source session are converted to spaces in the target session.
For ASCII sessions, you must first allocate memory for cut and send. Allocating Feature
Memory in Configuration and Central Control tells you how to allocate memory. The
following limitations apply only when copying to an ASCII session:
• Color character attributes in the source session are not supported.
• Extended highlighting in the source session, such as underline, blink, and reverse video,
is not supported.
• Copying from One Window to Another - Use this procedure to copy data:

The cursor movement keys are not transmitted to the ASCII host while the display
station is in WSC and an ASCII session. Complete all cursor movements for the target
ASCII session before you enter WSC to initiate a Send operation.
To prevent you from mixing keyboard data with data being sent to the target ASCII
session, the keyboard for the ASCII session is locked while the ASCII session is sending
data. The keyboard is not locked for other sessions.
