PA1 ,
it will interrupt the command execution and might leave some garbage around

Hi ,

Iam using a 3270 Emulator, where iam invoking a 3278 terminal. My Emulator was installed in a PC. Here i find only PF1 to PF12 and by using shift i can make another 12 keys extra to PF24. How to get the PA1 function from an ordinary keyboard, or is there any combination of keys used to acheive PA1 Function

thx

you need to look at the documentation for your emulator and map a PA1 key.

Look at the keyboard map and find which key is mapped to PA1

Hi,

Thx For the TIP, i can make use of that . Now here comes one more doubt, when i executed 2 or 3 macros at a time, but i need to cancel one particular macro .Is it possible . Or by prssing PA1 , will cancel only the recently executed macro

thx

You interrupt whatever command was executing at that time..
with unpredictable side effects
that' s why in my first reply I was talking about garbage

for example You might be left with unwanted allocations
usually PA1 usage should be only for emergencies ,
after that the safest thing is to logoff and logon again

Hi,

Please find my scenario..

1 Macro .. Executed ... and running ..
2 Macro .. Executed ... and running ..
3 Macro .. Executed ... and running ..

Now , i need to cancel my second macro which was executing .If i logoff and login again my 1 and 3 macro also will be terminated, and if i press pa1 my current macro that is 3rd will be terminated .. So is there any way to acheive , to cancel only the second macro without disturbing the execution of the 1st and 3rd macro.

thx

looks like You did not read my post..

but as far exec edit macros are involved the execution is strictly sequential
so by the time the second macro start executing the first macro will be finished

and the third one will not have been invoked yet

Hi ,

No .. I read your .. Post ..

So you concluded that .. no 2 macro can execute simultaneously,right ...

In the FG we can able to assume that 3 macros were executing .. but in tha actual BG .. only one macro can run .. so the second will wait for the first to complete and so on ..

please confirm this .

thx

I am not concluding, I am telling...
and even in FG only one thing can be active at the same time
You cannot invoke anything and swap scrrens

the logoff logon was meant to be used after the PA1 to clean up the possible garbage[/b]
