General

All defined keys are represented by either:
  • A 1-byte ASCII value that is part of the 256-element ASCII character set, or
  • A 2-, 4-, or 6-byte ASCII mnemonic

To represent a key defined as an ASCII character, a 1-byte ASCII value that corresponds to that character is used.

To represent a key defined as a function, a 2-, 4-, or 6-byte ASCII mnemonic that corresponds to that function is used. For example, to represent the backtab key, @B is used. To represent PF1, @1 is used. To represent Erase Input, @A@F is used. See the following lists:

@B Left Tab @0 Home @h PF17
@C Clear @1 PF1/F1 @i PF18
@D Delete @2 PF2/F2 @j PF19
@E Enter @3 PF3/F3 @k PF20
@F Erase EOF @4 PF4/F4 @l PF21

Note:
  1. The first @ symbol in the first table represents the escape character. The first and second @ symbol in the second table is the escape character. The @ symbol is the default escape character. You can change the value of the escape character using the ESC=c option of the Set Session Parameters (9) function.

    If you change the escape character to #, the literal sequences used to represent the Backtab, Home, and Erase Input keys become #B, #0, and #A#F, respectively.

    Also, the literal sequence used to represent the @ symbol becomes #@.

  2. If you send the mnemonic for print screen (that is, either @P or @A@T), place it at the end of the calling data string.
  3. If you send the mnemonic for device cancel (that is, @A@R), it is passed through with no error message; however, local copy is not stopped.
