Copy/Paste Between TN3270 Sessions
Use the Copy/Paste feature to copy data between sessions or applications. This feature
allows you to quickly mark, copy and paste data between fields in different sessions.
The mark field is the area which is highlighted as the data source. The data to be pasted
must be within a displayed field. Data cannot be marked for pasting if it is in a
nondisplayable field. Data may be pasted from protected as well as unprotected fields.
You must select the mark field before you select the paste field.
Mark/Copy Field
To select the mark field, position the cursor with the mouse, then press and hold the Shift
key while dragging the cursor over the source field you wish to copy. The mark field is
displayed in reverse video to indicate that it has been selected. The choice between
“Standard” (default) and “Frame” in the Screen Setup, Edit Select Mode (as shown above),
will either highlight text lines or will select complete text blocks.
Note: Data can be marked and copied from protected as well as unprotected fields.
After selecting a field, press Alt C to copy selection into the clipboard where it may be
used to paste to other sessions.
Data may also be copied from other applications into a TN3270 session as long as the
applications support “text only” copy.
