Using Glass TTY Terminals › Restrictions
Restrictions
TTY limitations impose the following restrictions on maps:
- Maps that contain fields that wrap around from the bottom to the top of the screen are not supported. A map is not a wraparound map if only the cursor returns to the upper left from the lower right coordinate at runtime.
- The last position on the screen is unavailable. For example, data cannot be mapped to or from the position 24,80 on a 24X80 screen.
- Maps with overlapping fields are not supported.
The following restrictions should also be noted:
- TTY keys that do not put control codes into the data stream (such as SHIFT/CLEAR and CTRL/Q) should not be used, since RHDCTAPR registers user activity according to the control codes it receives.
- The online mapping compiler can only be run at a 3270-type terminal.
- A map generated through either batch or the online mapping compiler can be displayed on TTY and 3270-type terminals under the following conditions:
- A map that is wider than a given screen can not display on that screen.
- A map can only display at a terminal if the screen size for the terminal is specified in the map-definition. A TTY usually has a size of 24X80.
- A map can only display at a TTY terminal if the existing device independence table for the TTY terminal is specified at the beginning of the terminal session.
