5250 client status line
The following list describes the information displayed in the status line of the 5250 client:
Connection indicator: The session is in either connected or disconnected state. When menu items are highlighted, an explanation of the menu item is displayed.
Status indicators: These indicators are only true when red.
SA (System Available): The IBM i is operating and is available to the computer.
MW (Message Waiting): The IBM i has one or more messages for you.
KS (Keyboard Shift): The keyboard is in shifted mode.
IM (Insert Mode): Characters inserted into an existing field will not type over the existing data.
II (Input Inhibited): The IBM i isn't accepting keyboard input. Try pressing the ERROR RESET key. If still highlighted, the system is processing your request.
KB (Keystroke Buffering): The IBM i isn't accepting keyboard input, as indicated by the II indicator, so keystrokes are saved to a temporary buffer (storage space). After the II indicator turns off, the keystrokes are processed. To clear the keystroke buffering, press the ERROR RESET key.
System and Device Indicators: These indicators appear only when the client is connected to the IBM i.
