CA Automation Point Parameters › Scan Code Parameters

Scan Code Parameters

Scan code parameters define operations in scan code files. For details about customizing these types of files, see the appendix on customizing special CA Automation Point files in the Administrator Guide.

The following are the CA Automation Point parameters you need to define when specifying your scan code parameter file.

3270_KEY

Specifies the operation that is being defined (for example, A, PF1, and so on).

3270_SCAN

Specifies the terminal-specific scan code for the operation.

When defining operations in a scan code file, follow these rules:

• You can enter scan code parameters in uppercase or lowercase.
• Start each definition in column 1.
• Separate the parameters by placing a comma between them.
• Begin a comment line with an asterisk character (*).
• Leave two or more blanks between the last parameter and the start of the comment when specifying a comment on the same line as a statement.
