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.
