SUMMARY
=======
The Operator Information Area (OIA)is used to display the status of a 3270
screen session. The OIA is the last (bottom) line displayed in the terminal
window of the 3270 session. Except for the initial three positions (system
connection indicators), status line indicators only appear when they apply.
The following tables describe the OIA and explain each indicator. In the table,
position refers to the column(s) that a specific indicator occupies on the OIA,
where the left-most column of the OIA is position 1. In addition, the "female"
symbol used for certain system connection and input inhibited indicators cannot
be displayed in this table. In its place is the "^" symbol.
OIA INDICATOR (POSITION)

System Connection (position 1):
Does not apply to the 3270 Applet.
System Connection (position 2):
B Connection uses an SNA protocol.
A Connection uses a non-SNA protocol.
System Connection (position 3):
b Connected to a host application (LU-LU session).
^ Connected to host system services (SSCP-LU session).
? Session is established, but is not connected to any host program
(unknown).
Session ID (positions 4 - 7):
aaaa First four characters of your configured long name session ID.
Input Inhibited messages (keyboard locked) (positions 9 - 17):
X COMMnnn Communications error. See Communications Status
(positions 19 - 26).
X MACHnnn Computer check error.
X PROGnnn Program check error. See Communications Status
(positions 19 - 26).
X SYSTEM Keyboard input is being processed by the host. Wait for the
message to clear or press RESET.
X[] The host requires more time to process your request. Wait for
the indicator to clear or press RESET.

were inactive.
COMM504 Communications are not established with the host. This
message disappears as soon as communication is established with
the host. If this message does not disappear, check to ensure
proper settings of the host network address, local node ID, or
local SAP.
COMM505 The host terminated the connection used by your 3270 session.
COMM510 The host has deactivated the communications link. Report the
message to your system administrator.
COMM518 A segment was out of sequence. Contact your system
administrator.
COMM695 A communications error occurred.
COMM5nn The communications link is still being established; the keyboard
is locked. Wait for the message to clear; also check Input
Inhibited messages.
PROG703 A session control, data flow control, or network control command

PROG705 A sequence number error has occurred. Press RESET, and try the
operation again.
PROG706 A chaining error has occurred. Press RESET, and try the

the operation again.
Screen Session LU Address (positions 79 - 80):
nn The LU address of the currently displayed 3270 screen session.
ERROR 83:
The LU selected is not valid for the logged on user. There is a
configuration problem if this appears, because the emulator only
presents the user with LUs they are allowed to use. Verify the user can
use this LU.
ERROR 85:
The primary reason for this error is the specific LU requested is
already in use.
ERROR 87:
There are several possibilities for this error:
- All the LUs in the Pool requested are in use and will not be
available until someone logs off.
- One or more servers or connections are inactive, and need to be
started before all the LUs in the Pool are available.
