Preface
Organization
Companion Publications
This publication provides introductory, reference, operational,
and
error-recovery
information relative to the functional and programming characteristics of the IBM
3290 Information Panel.
This manual is for system programmers, application programmers, and those who
prepare operating procedures for end users.
This manual has six chapters and three appendixes:
• Chapter 1 contains introductory information.
Chapter 2 gives the characteristics of the 3290.
• Chapter 3 describes functions that are unique to the 3290 and
that
are largely
operator-controlled.
• Chapter 4 lists the 3270 data stream functions supported by the 3290.
For
a
general description of the 3270 data stream functions, the reader
is
referred
to the
IBM
3270
Information Display System Data Stream Programmer's
Reference, GA23-0059. Only those functions unique to the 3290 are
described in this chapter.
• Chapter S describes the 3290 controls and indicators.
• Chapter 6 explains the functions of the keyboard
and
keypad keys.
• Appendix A contc.ins examples
of
operator setup
and
screen management.
• Appendix B lists the 3290 error codes, with the probable causes and
corrective actions.
• Appendix C defines setup level 3 error codes.
A Glossary, preceding the Index, defines terms used in this manual.
It
is
assumed that the user
is
familiar with the 3270
data
stream, its functions,
and
how to write programs using it.
If
not familiar with the 3270
data
stream, the user
should view the
IBM
3270 Information Display System Data Stream
Programmer's Reference, GA23-0059, before trying to use this manual.
In
any
case,
that
publication should be available for reference.

3290 Information Panel

Chapter 1. Introduction
C
;
. The IBM 3290 Information Panel (Frontispiece) uses the 3270
data
stream
as
described in the
IBM
32
70
Information Display System Data Stream
Programmer's Reference, GA23-0059. Refer to that publication for 3270 data
stream information. This publication lists only the 3270 data stream functions
supported by the 3290 and describes only those implementation differences that
are unique to the 3290.
The 3290 interacts with host programs written for the 3270 displays. In terms of
screen management facilities, keyboards, methods of highlighting, and peripheral
device attachment, there are operational differences between the 3290 and other
3270 displays. See your IBM representative for any compatibility differences.
The 3290 supports the multiple interactive screens and multiple copy screens
functions. These functions allow the operator to benefit from the larger 3290
screen, using existing 3270 host programs as well as new programs. The multiple
interactive screens function allows the 3290 to operate
as
up to four logical
displays, each interacting independently with its own host program. The multiple
copy screens function allows the 3290 operator to initiate a copy of the active
screen to one of up to three copy screens and to retain the copies for reference.
With new or modified 3270 host programs, the 3290 displays large screens (up to
9920 characters), and multiple (up to 16) partitions, with or without vertical
scrolling. The 3290 interacts with structured-field data-stream functions.
Although a monochromatic display, the 3290 accepts the structured-field (color)
codes and returns them unchanged on a subsequent read operation.
The 3290 operates in the systems network architecture (SNA)
and
non-SNA
environments. For SNA support, virtual telecommunications access method
(VTAM) must be Advanced Communication Function
(ACF)/VTAM,
Release 1
or later,
and
telecommunications access method (TCAM) must be Version 2,
Release 3 or later.
In
the SNA environment, the 3290
is
a logical unit (LU) type
2 device, attached to a physical unit (PU) type 2 control unit. In a binary
synchronous communication (BSC) environment, transparency must be used with
structured fields or with extended attributes.
The 3290
can
be attached to the IBM 3274 Control Unit. (See
the
IBM
3270
Information Display System Feature Description, GA23-0113, for the 3274
models to which the 3290 can be attached and for the necessary
3274
features
and support.) When attached to the 3274 Control Unit, the 3290
is
a Category A
terminal
that
attaches to a type A port (except port
AO).
Certain 3290-unique information is stored
on
the 3290 load diskette in the 3274
unit. This diskette must be placed
in
the 3274 diskette drive when any attached
3290s are
to
be used, because each time
an
attached 3290 is switched
on
(and
at
other times mentioned in this manual) the 3274 must provide a downstream load
of
this information from the diskette to the 3290.
The 3274 monitors and controls communication between
the
attached 3290s
and
the host system. See the
IBM
3270
Information Display System
3274
Control
Unit Description and Programmer's Guide, GA23-0061, for local operations,
remote BSC operations,
and
SNA/synchronous
data
link control (SDLC)
communication.

Chapter 2. Display Characteristics
The display element
of
the
3290
includes a plasma panel as a display screen. The
display space
of
the screen permits the display
of
individual picture elements
(PELs) in a contiguous matrix
of
960
PELs in the horizontal direction and
75
l
PELs in the vertical direction. The display space
is
the area above the separator
line for the operator information area. (See Figure
2-1.)
The
contiguous matrix
permits the size, spacing, and location of alphanumeric text
and
programmed
symbol (PS) characters to be varied in both the horizontal
and
vertical directions.
Up
to 62 rows of 160 columns are displayed in the display space, for a maximum
of
9920 characters.

A character cell
is
a rectangular array of PELs, in the display space, that
tf
represents the maximum physical boundary for a single character. Whatever
i.,;.
character cell size is used, the character cells are contiguous both horizontally and
vertically
on
the 3290 screen.
Allowable character cell sizes range from 6 x 12 to 12 x 31 PELs. See Figure 2-2
for
an
example of an allowable size. How the character cell sizes are determined
under various conditions is described in Chapter 3.

A character matrix
is
a rectangular array of PELs that represents the minimum
rectangular matrix necessary to display the uppercase E character for a given
character set. The character matrix.es for the two 3290 character sets are 5 x 8
and 7 x
9.
The 7 x 9 character set
is
used in character cells whose width
is
greater than or
equal to
9,
and whose height
is
greater than or equal to
15
(see Figure 2-3). The
5 x 8 character set
is
used in character cells smaller than 9 x 15.

Because the character cells are contiguous on the display screen, the size
relationship between the character matrix and the character cell determines the
vertical and horizontal spacing between characters. Characters can be densely
packed or opened up for greater legibility through the proper choice of character
cell size and character matrix size.
The allowable combinations of character cell size and character matrix size allow
one
or
more PEL rows above the character matrix for the diacritics associated
with some national languages, and one or more
PEL
rows beneath the character
matrix for the cursor, for
an
underline, for
an
underscore, and for the descenders
of certain lowercase alphabetic characters. Figure 2-3 illustrates a 7 x 9 character
matrix within a 9 x
15
character cell, and shows the intercharacter spacing and
the allowance for diacritics, descenders, etc.
Screen Layout and Addressing
Regardless of the sizes of the character cell and character matrix, character
locations
on
the screen are addressed by buffer displacement, starting with 0,0 in
the upper left of the screen area involved. See the
IBM
3290
Information Panel
Screen Management Form, GX27-0028. See Chapter 4 for a discussion
of
how to
determine buffer addresses.

Chapter 3. 3290-Unique Functions
This chapter describes those functions that .are unique to the 3290:
Multiple interactive screens
Multiple copy screens
Setup
Zoom
Rule
Image limit
RowIcolumn indicator
Logical-terminal identifier
3290-unique aspects of the local copy function
These functions are largely operator-controlled.
Multiple Interactive Screens Function
The multiple interactive screens function provides the capability of using the 3290
as
up
to four co-resident interactive logical terminals. Each logical terminal can
interact independently with its own host application program. To make use of this
capability, the proper number of logical-terminal addresses must have been
customized for the port to which the 3290
is
attached. (See "Customizing for the
Multiple Interactive Screens Function.")
When the multiple interactive screens function
is
used, the display space (above
the separator line) can be undivided, divided into equal halves vertically or
horizontally, or divided into equal quarters, as in Figure 3-1.

of
the
screen
areas
in
characters
(assuming a 6 X
12
character
cell size).
Figure 3-1. Screen Divisions
Each of these screen areas can contain a logical screen
that
displays the
data
associated with a logical terminal.
The logical screen containing the cursor
is
the active logical screen
and
accepts
operator input. The keyboard
and
the symbols in the operator information area
relate to the active logical screen. Only one logical screen
can
be the active
logical screen.
If
more than one logical screen
is
displayed, the operator
can
make
another logical screen the active logical screen by pressing the Jump Screen key.
(When only one logical screen
is
displayed, the Jump Screen key has no effect.)
The cursor moves from the current cursor position
of
the logical screen currently
active to the current cursor position of the next clockwise logical screen, which
then becomes the new active logical screen. The host programs interact with
the
logical screen for any defined logical terminal, whether it is active
or
inactive.
It
is
possible for the logical screen associated with a logical terminal
not
to be
physically displayed.
At
least one logical screen must always
be
displayed.
The
Chapter
3. 3290-Unique Functions 3-1
operator
specifies which logical terminals will
have
their logical screens displayed.
(Refer
to
"Setup
Mode".)
A logical screen
that
is
not
displayed
is
placed in the
background queue.
When
a logical screen is placed in the background queue, the host
can
still interact
with its logical terminal; but, for
the
operator
to see the logical screen
or
to
interact
with
it,
the
logical screen must be displayed as a foreground screen. This
is
accomplished
by
pressing
the
Change
Screen
(Chg
Sc) key.
If
no background
logical screen exists,
the
Change
Screen key has no effect.
Each
time the
Change
Screen key is pressed,
the
active logical screen
is
placed at the bottom
of
the
background queue
and
the
top
logical screen from the background queue
is
displayed as a foreground screen in its place.
Customizing
for
the Multiple Interactive Screens Function
See the
IBM
3270
Information Display System
3274
Control Unit Planning.
Setup, and Customizing Guide,
GA27-2827
(Configuration Support
T),
or
the
IBM
3270 Information Display System 3274 Control Unit Customizing Guide,
GA23-0065
(Configuration Support
D).
3290s
can
be
attached to any type A
ports
except
port
AO
(only a 3278
or
3279
can
be
attached
to port AO).
For
non-SNA
3274s,
the
maximum allowable
number
of logical-terminal
addresses
is
31.
For
SNA
3274s, the maximum allowable number
of
logical-terminal addresses is 128.
It
is
expected
that
users will customize
three
or
five logical-terminal addresses
when
existing programs (smaller screens) are to
be
intermixed with a new
program using a large screen. Those using only existing programs will probably
customize
two
or
four logical-terminal addresses.
Logical-Terminal Definition Table
3-2
The
logical-terminal definition table (Figure
3-2)
is
supplied by
IBM
as a part
of
3290
support.
The
table is downstream-loaded to
the
3290
(from the load
diskette placed
in
the
3274
diskette drive)
whenever
it
is
powered on and
at
other
times, as described later.
The
logical-terminal definition table defines six labeled logical-terminal sets
( A , B , c , o ,
E,
and
F
),
each
having provision for four logical-terminal
definitions.
Each
logical-terminal definition
can
differ from the definitions for
the
other
logical terminals,
but
the sum
of
the
resources allocated to any
logical-terminal set
cannot
exceed the resources available
to
the physical 3290.
The
contents
of
the
IBM-supplied logical-terminal definition table can be
modified,
either
temporarily, for this
3290,
or
permanently (with the use of a
password), for all attached 3290s. (See
"Setup
Level
3"
for an explanation.)
The
contents
of
the
logical-terminal definition table must
meet
the criteria
specified in
the
text
that
follows Figure 3-2.
