On your 3270 it is still available by pressing the left-arrow key (to get the cursor out of the command line field) and then ENTER. We call this the "null line attention interrupt". It is still used to interrupt a CMS application console read. The ATTN interrupt causes CMS to suspend the application read and replace it with a CMS command handler read. Then you can use HX to cancel the running program that has issued a read to the console. You can get the same result by issuing #CP ATTN (but left-cursor-ENTER is faster).
