Creating the 3270 Keyboard Map Routine in AS/400

Note: Creating a 3270 keyboard map is necessary only if you choose your AS/400 sessions to be type TN3270. If you choose TN5250, this step is not necessary.

To use the PF keys on AS/400, create a keyboard map routine for each AS/400 system that AS/400 Manager will control. The keyboard map routine is a CL program that must be compiled and must reside in your library list.

Name the CL program KBD3270. The sample initialization scripts for AS/400 Manager call the program using the KBD3270 name when the application starts.

Note: The KBD3270 program must properly map the PF keys on the AS/400 system for the AS/400 Manager to function properly. Contact your AS/400 administrator if you have any problems with the KBD3270 program.
