IBM 3153 ASCII Terminal Display - Insert key not working
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
3153 Insert Key not working.
Background Information:
When the 3153 is configured for IBM 3151 emulation, the user or the host can determine the operation of the Insert Key.
IBM 3151 emulation supports:
- Insert Character = Space
- Insert Character = Mode
Insert Character = Space:
Every time the Insert Key is pressed, the 3153 should insert a space character. When the Insert key is pressed, the 3153 is sending the host, the 'Insert Character' command. The host should echo the command back to the 3153 causing a space to be inserted.
Insert Character = Mode:
Every time the Insert Key is pressed, the 3153 toggles between Insert Mode and Non-Insert (replacement) Mode. When the 3153 is in Insert Mode, every alphanumeric key that is pressed, the 3153 inserts that alphanumeric character. When the alphanumeric key is pressed, the 3153 is sending the host, the 'Insert Character' command. The host should the command back to the 3153 causing a character to be inserted.
The Insert Character can be selected by the:
- User by entering 3153 setup menu, and selecting 'F5 Keys' setup menu.
- Host Application by using the IBM 3151 Set/Read Control 3 Command. Refer to IBM 3153 or IBM 3151 Programmers Reference Manual.
Recommended Solution:
Change the 3153 setup value of 'Insert Character' from 'Mode' to 'Space'; or 'Space' to 'Mode'.
Notes:
For 3153 attachment to RS/6000 or AS/400, the preferred 3153 setup value for 'Insert Character' = Space.
