ITEM: RS4000014781
**************> QUESTION level 1 --> level 2 SPECIALIST <**************
Questions:
One of our customer is developing a HLLAPI application.
He has 2 problems:
1. he is not able to write on a protected field.
He is looking for the function that allows this.
2. he is not able to send a High Key W as closure of a string
read from a magnetic badge.
Is there a function for this too?
Any suggestion on these 2 items? He has tried both with HLLAPI
and with g32, but till now has find no solution.
Thanks in advance, best regards, Marina.

Additional information:
The HP machine with OSF Op.Sys. can issue a '104 REQUEST' that does the
the job...The developer inserted such request with no compiling errors
but it doesn't work. Do we support (or will we) this request ?
Thanks. L.M.

Response:
There is no HLLAPI documentation available for either of the questions
your customer has. A HLLAPI program can only do what an hcon user
can do in their 3270 display session and normally protected fields
are not meant to be written to. If your customer needs to change
one of these fields he should talk to his VTAM/Application programmer
to get the field changed to an unprotected state in the host
presentation space.
If you can provide more information on what a "High Key W" is, I
will research to see if there is any way to send this keystroke.
PLEASE NOTE THAT MY SPECIALIST HAS ADDED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN
REGARDS TO THE SECOND PORTION OF YOUR INQUIRY OF..........
Correction to previous question:
I've beeb told that the correct name for the string customer is
not able to send is AID key W and NOT HIGH key as I inderstood.
Thanks for helping us, best regards, Marina.
ADDITIONAL RESPONSE:
I found some information on the AID bytes possible for the 3270 data
stream (which is what HLLAPI uses) in a manual titled "3270 Information
Display System, Data Stream Programmer's Reference", pub number
GA23-0059. The AID key W is not one of the listed bytes but your
customer may be able to find a substitute in the list. This manual
also explains how/when the customer's application can send AID bytes,
which he/she would probably find useful.
Thank you for using AIX Support services.
