Tandem 6530 or Compatible Terminal to IBM 3270 or Compatible Terminal Function Key
Translation
Table 14-4 lists the options of the CONTROL verb that allow you to control the
translation of function key values from a Tandem 6530 or compatible terminal value to
an IBM 3270 or compatible terminal equivalent.

Key Translation
Operand Description
PFK3270 Mapping is performed, where defined, from terminal-dependent function keys to IBM
3270 or compatible terminal function keys before the value is placed in &SYS.INKEY.
This applies on Tandem 6530 or compatible terminals only.
PFKGEN Mapping is performed from certain terminal-dependent functions keys to generic
function key values before the value is placed in &SYS.INKEY. These generic
function key values describe the usual function of the function key rather than the
name of the function key.
If the terminal is an IBM 3270 or compatible and PFKMAP is set, an upper-row
function key is translated to a lower-row function key equivalent before mapping from
a terminal-dependent function key to generic function key value.
PFKNATIVE No mapping is performed on the terminal-dependent function key values before the
value is placed in &SYS.INKEY. The original function key names are placed in
&SYS.INKEY.
Function keys that perform a system-wide function are intercepted according to the
setting of PFKSTD, PFKALL, or NOPFK. If the terminal is an IBM 3270 or compatible
and PFKMAP is set, an upper-row function key is translated to a lower-row function
key equivalent before the value is placed in &SYS.INKEY.
