To find out the status of your session, look in the lower right-hand
corner of the screen. A status indicator and shell session number
(if more than one session has been started) are displayed. The session
number identifies the session displayed on your screen.
INPUT <1>
5=Bottom 6=TSO
11=FwdRetr 12=Retrieve
The status indicators are:
- INPUT
- Indicates that the shell is ready for input and will not send
any more output to the display screen. If your output has not yet
been displayed when the status changes to INPUT, press
the Refresh function key to see more output.
- RUNNING
- Indicates that the workstation and shell are being polled, or
that an application program is running. After the polling completes,
the indicator changes.
- MORE...
- Indicates that the screen is full of output and there is more
output waiting to be displayed. To scroll the screen, do one of the
following:
- Press the <Clear> key (or combination of keys, depending on your
keyboard)
- Press the Scroll, HalfScr, or Bottom function key.
- INPUT HIDDEN
- Indicates that you have pressed a function key that will turn
off the display of any input that you type. Typically, this function
is used for typing in secure data. Once you press <Enter>, any further
input is displayed.
HIDDEN is a short form of INPUT HIDDEN, used
when it is combined with other status indicators, such as:
- HIDDEN/MORE
- HIDDEN/INPUT
- HIDDEN/NOT ACCEPTED
- HIDDEN/NOTACC/MORE
- HIDDEN/NOTACC/INPUT
- NOT ACCEPTED
- Indicates that the application or shell is hung and not accepting
any input you enter. Try using a subcommand to interrupt the application.
NOTACC is a short form of NOT ACCEPTED, used when it is combined with
other status indicators, such as:
- HIDDEN/NOTACC/MORE
- HIDDEN/NOTACC/INPUT
- NOT ACCEPTED/MORE...
- Indicates that the application is not accepting any input you
enter and that there is more output waiting to be displayed. Scroll
the screen to clear it before trying to reenter the input. To scroll
the screen, do one of the following:
- Press the <Clear> key (or combination of keys, depending on your
keyboard)
- Press the Scroll, HalfScr, or Bottom function key.
- SUBCOMMAND
- Indicates that you are working in subcommand mode.
