How to enter passwords from 3270 through MFS

Entering a password through Message Format Service (MFS) can be different from password entry on a cleared screen or on other IMS terminals.

The password can be created from:

• Data read from a 3270 ID card reader
• Data that you key into one or more fields or a portions of fields in the device format
• Data that you key into a field that is not displayed on the screen and is designated as the password field only in the device format
• Literals
• Combinations of the above
