Notes on Using This Function

  1. The Paste Clipboard to Presentation Space function is affected by the following options:
    • STRLEN/STREOT
    • EAB/NOEAB
    • EOT
    • XLATE/NOXLATE
    • PUTEAB/NOPUTEAB
    • EXTEND_PS/NOEXTEND_PS
  2. The string ends when an end-of-text (EOT) delimiter is encountered in the string if EOT mode was selected using the Set Session Parameters (9) function. (See “Set Session Parameters (9)” on page 147).
  3. The original data (the copied string) cannot exceed the size of the presentation space.
  String   Meanings Single-byte character field

X'0E000C0F' (SO)(DB FF)(SI) X'0E'X'000C'X'0F' –S error  
Note: SB means single-byte characters.

Note: 5250 emulation supports a presentation space of 24 rows by 80 columns. In some instances, Communication Manager 5250 emulation displays a 25th row. This occurs when either an error message from the host is displayed or when the operator selects the SysReq key. Z and I Emulator for Windows always displays the same information on the 24th row. By the EXTEND_PS option, an EHLLAPI application can use the same interface with Communication Manager EHLLAPI and valid presentation space is extended when this condition occurs.
