Screen Taps

Screen Taps allow you to move the cursor, display the Pop-Up keyboard Toolbar, activate light pen selectable areas, and send AID keys based on onscreen prompts.

Move the Cursor TAP the desired cursor location.

The cursor will move to the selected location.

Light Pen Activation ALT-TAP or DOUBLE-TAP the light-pen selectable area.

If the selected location is a light-pen field, the designator character determines the light-pen action. If the pen selectable field does not have a valid designator character, the cursor is moved to the selected location and an AID_ENTER is sent to the host.

Interpreted AID keys ALT-TAP or DOUBLE-TAP the prompt that contains a PFKey Number.

Interpreted AID text must be in a protected field and look similar to PFK3=Return 8 SCN 10 /SD. When a selection is made, the PFK interpreter looks at the selected location and to the left of the location for a number that represents the desired PFKey. If no number is found to the left, the interpreter scans to the right.

Numbers must be between 1 and 24 for PFKeys and between 1 and 3 for PAKeys. All numbers must be within the same field

If the letter immediately preceeding the number is an a or A, a PAkey is sent if the number is between 1 and 3. The current cursor location is not changed
