B.1.1 ibmCaps Record
This record defines all the IBM key values that can be mapped to your
keyboard. IBM key values fall into four categories:
•
•
•
•
3270 AID keys
3270 function keys
Special Sun function keys
EBCDIC characters
See Section 3.5, “Data Entry Overview” for a description of these different IBM
key values.
The format of the IBM Key Caps file is:
Key Cap Name = key value
The Key Cap Name becomes the string associated the IBM Key Value.
Key Cap Names can be up to seven characters.
For “displayable” characters, the key value is the character's EBCDIC code
point (for example, A = 0xC1). To support a UK English keyboard, you need to
add the EBCDIC £ value:
Pound = 5B
For the 3270 AID keys, 3270 function keys, and the special Sun function keys,
an associated string identifies the key value. Table B-1 contains a list of these
Key Value strings (listed under mnemonics).
