When making connections with DAL Clients to DAL Servers in the IBM environment using 3270 (MVS/TSO, MVS/VTAM, VM/CMS) or 5250 (AS/400) datastream protocols, it may be necessary to send a HOME key as part of the login or logoff sequence. HOME is not currently implemented within DAL's connection scripts. These scripts are commonly known as 'DAL Preferences' (Macintosh System 7.x), 'hosts.cl1' (Macintosh System 6.0.x), and 'hosts.dal' (DOS/Windows clients).
It is still possible to access the field desired by using a combination of forward tab (FTAB) or backward tab (BTAB) characters. Experimentation should be done with a 'live' 3270 or 5250 session to determine the exact number of tabs required.
