I guess to be honest I don't remember if it was a 3277. I do remember that it had 5 PFKs. I beleive they were on the keyboard itself and you had to push another key with the letter key that had the PFK function on it. I remember being very happy when I got a different terminal that had the PF

Perhaps it is a case where mixed case is often needed, but upper case is required in one or more fields. Granted, in this case, it is possible to upper case the user's lower case input in the host code. But it may be more "aesthetically pleasing" to have the input upper cased as the user is ente
