3270 Emulation Program Status Line

The Motif 3270 emulation program uses graphical symbols for some of the messages on the status line, which are similar to the symbols used on an IBM terminal, instead of the character messages shown here. The overall format of the status line and the meaning of individual messages is the same for both character-based and Motif versions.

The Motif symbols are shown in this appendix only where they are different from the character symbols; when no Motif information is shown, the Motif symbol is the same as the character symbol.
