Hello,

In our mainframe spool i gave &2 in the command line to do a auto update every two seconds when my job was in execution. But i dint know how to cancel the auto update. It went into a infinite loop. so i closed my session and logged in again.

Do anyone know how to cancel the auto update in the spool?

Is it mainframe installation dependent?

Thanks,
Ashwin.

Press ATTENTION key.
For RUMBA (TN3270 client) it is Ctrl+Shift+A, dont know about others.

Press 'ESC' if it is Passport to come out of the Auto status...

Hello,

Many (most?) win-based terminal emulators have a feature that allows the user to view/customize the keyboard mapping. This is usually in the Settings drop-down. One of the choices will be Keyboard or Keyboard Settings or Keyboard Mapping or somthing similar. Sometimes, the initial mapping is available via the Help dropdown.
