cicsterm

Although cicsterm is accessible, it relies on the application that is being processed to define an accessible 3270 screen.

Keyboard mapping depends on the terminal type that you are using, for more information, see Keyboard mapping for cicsterm.

The bottom row of cicsterm contains status information. The following list shows this information, as it appears from left to right:
Status
For example, 1B is displayed while cicsterm is connecting to a server. Displayed at columns 1 – 3.
Terminal name
Also referred to as LU Name. Columns 4 – 7.
Action
For example, X-System, indicating that you cannot enter text in the terminal window because cicsterm is waiting for a response from the server. Columns 9 – 16.
Error number
Errors in the form CCLNNNN, relating to the CICS Transaction Gateway. Columns 17 – 24.
Server name
The server to which cicsterm is connected. Columns 27 – 35.
Uppercase
An up arrow is displayed when the Shift key is pressed. Column 42.
Caps Lock
A capital A is displayed when Caps Lock is on. Column 43.
Insert on
The caret symbol (‸) is displayed if text will be inserted, rather than overwriting existing text. If you have difficulty seeing the caret, change the font face and size, or use a screen magnifier to increase the size of the status line. Column 52.
Cursor position
The cursor position, in the form ROW/COLUMN, where ROW is a two-digit number, and COLUMN a three-digit number. The top left of the screen is 01/001. Column 75–80.
Note: You might need to change the default behavior of your screen reader if it reads only the last digit of the cursor position. Customize your screen reader to specify that columns 75–80 of the status row are to be treated as one field. This will cause the full area to be read when any digit changes.
