Use HostDialogue to enter 3270 emulation mode.

 

HostDialogue may also be entered as HostDialog[ue], DialogueH[ost], DialogH[ost], or Dialog[ue].

 

HostDialogue has no operands.

 

3270 emulation mode causes BIM-EDIT/XP to function as if it was a 3270-type terminal attached to the host BIM-EDIT system.  On rare occassions, this can be useful.  The average user will not need to use this command.  (3270 emulation mode is entered and exited automatically if a procedure running on the host BIM-EDIT system issues a MAPF command.)

 

To exit 3270 emulation mode, enter:

 

   => dialog

 

The exit function is handled by the host BIM-EDIT system as opposed to BIM-EDIT/XP. As such, it must be entered exactly as shown above.

 

Return Codes

 

OK Successful.
