Use the GetData action to get a sequence of key presses from the caller. To indicate that the caller has finished entering data, the last key pressed must be the key specified by the Enter Key system parameter in the Application Server Interface parameter group. The default is # (pound or hash).
The GetFindName action allows you retrieve an application profile whose digit name matches a sequence of key presses from the caller. The digit name is the numeric equivalent of the application profile ID. Again, the Enter Key is used to indicate the end of the data entry, and the Stop Key allows the caller to cancel the entry and start again. The default value for the Stop Key system parameter is * (star).
The GetFindData action allows you to pass a sequence of key presses from the caller to a custom server or 3270 server, to retrieve information. Again, the Enter Key is used to indicate the end of the data entry, and the Stop Key allows the caller to cancel the entry and start again. The default value for the Stop Key system parameter is * (star).
Alphabetic characters are assigned to the keys on the keypad, so that callers can enter alphabetic data if necessary. You can change the character-to-key assignments using system parameters in the Key Signals parameter group.
