EM3270 Emulation With a Kanji Host
Table B-6 describes the translation performed by the EM3270 emulator on IBM
extended field attributes sent by the IBM host application to the terminal.
Table B-7 describes the translation performed by the EM3270 emulator on IBM
character attributes sent by the IBM host application to the terminal.
Tandem/Fujitsu Terminal to IBM Host Translation
The translation of data from the Tandem terminal into a 3270-compatible data stream
consists of:
•
Translating the Tandem terminal function key into the appropriate AID byte.
•
Translating the Tandem terminal cursor address.
•
Translating each modified data field into an SBA, attribute address plus 1, followed
by the data in the field. The attribute address is omitted if in unformatted mode.
