Ibm Character Keys - HP 262SA Reference Manual

3276/78 Emulation Mode
On the templates, the ttnames" for the keys appear in one of two colors. Brown labels show
that the indicated key replaces the corresponding key on the HP keyboard. For example, the
CURSR SEL (Cursor Select) key replaces the
II
key. Although the ALT (Alternate Shift) key
replaces the
III
key, it appears in blue print. For keys that function as Alternate Shift keys,
you must simultaneously press the ALT key and the corresponding key to select that function.
These keys also appear in blue print. Since the way of accessing certain functions differ
between their HP and IBM implementations, the blue color scheme quickly identifies all
Alternate Shift keys.
The HP 2625A offers support for the following languages:
• Danish
• Dutch
• English (United Kingdom)
• English (USASCII)
• Finnish
• French
• French Canadian
• German
• Italian
• Norwegian
• Spanish
• Swedish
With the national languages, the templates also show which keys in the character set group
may have been relocated.
NOTE: IBM offers no support for Dutch. If your terminal was ordered with the Dutch
keyboard option, your terminal will respond to the US IBM codes when operating in
its IBM personality. Special templates compensate for the differences between the
HP Dutch keyboard and the US IBM templates.
IBM CHARACTER KEYS
The 3276 provides three keys that are not available on standard HP keyboards. These keys
are the cent sign
(¢),
the split vertical bar
(I),
and the logical not sign ( ---, ). Likewise, IBM
does not support three HP USASCII characters: the left bracket
(D,
the right bracket (]), and
the circumflex
(A).
Therefore, when your terminal functions as an IBM terminal, the terminal
maps the left bracket into the cent sign, the right bracket into the vertical bar, and the
circumflex into the logical not sign. (The template for the character set group shows all
ttreplaced" keys.) Besides these six keys, the characters in the HP-USASCII character set are
also in the IBM-EBCDIC character set.
The following pages summarize the keys of the IBM keyboard, tell which keys are supported,
and describe any ttvisual" differences between the implementations offered by IBM and HP.
However, for conlplete information on key layouts and nomenclature, you should refer to the
3270 Information Display System: Character Set Reference. The IBM 3270 Information Dis-
play System Component Description provides details on the operation of each key.
