But 'Pressing' Control t does not do cause the AS400 to do a testreq.
What does a TESTREQ do? The documentation mentions this function, but in all my years, I've never seen a TESTREQ key actually do anything on the AS/400!
And I don't know how to code a character control followed by a character t. control is not an ascii character, it is a modifier like Shift.
Control is not an ASCII character, but Control-T is.
Is it possible you guys have different "kind' of AS400 than I have? One in which ctrl-t / 0x14 / \024 is test request?
The \024 is just being sent from Linux to TN5250, it's not being sent to the AS/400.
Or is there hard code in tn5250 which maps ctrl-t to test req.?
What does TESTREQ do, exactly? The only documentation I can find looks like this:
When the 5494 is enabled to access CSU or concurrent diagnostic information the 5494 operator and service personnel use the Test Request key sequence to access CSU and diagnostic routines. The 5494 does not send information or AID codes to the AS/400 system when an operator enters this key sequence.
So, I'm a bit puzzled. That sounds like TESTREQ doesn't even send anything to the AS/400, but rather runs a self-test on the terminal?
None of my green-screen terminals appear to have a TESTREQ key, so I can't try them there.
I do not have Client Access, so I don't know what it does there, either. I do have RUMBA, but when I do a TESTREQ there, it seems to have no effect.

TestReq runs all kinds of utilities which let you examine the tha AS400. For instance you can look at the CodePage currently enable.
I will let you know th proper sequence when I fugure it out.
