Handling the input sequence in the session window

Use the Row and Column fields to specify the row and column position on the session window at which you want the macro runtime to start typing the input sequence. To have the macro runtime start typing the input sequence at the current position of the text cursor, you can set either or both of the Row and Column fields to 0. As with the Input action, the row and column position must lie within a 3270 or 5250 input field at runtime, or else the session window responds by inhibiting the input and displaying an error symbol in the Operator Information Area, just as it responds to keyboard input from an actual user.

You can have the macro runtime clear the contents of the input field before typing begins, by setting the Clear Host Field listbox to true.

The Move Cursor to End of Input field has the same function and effects as the button of the same name in the Input action (see Move Cursor to End of Input).

You can have the macro runtime not display the input sequence in the input field by setting the Don't Write to Screen listbox to true. This field is enabled only when the Assign to a Variable checkbox is selected.
