Re: Keyboard type?

[Al Barsa <barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The configuration of a 5250 workstation specifies what the keyboard type
is.  This is defaulted from the system value QKBDTYPE.  Get a wrong match
between the configuration and the keyboard, and you will *NOT have a
pleasant day.

Would anybody happen to know how a terminal identifies its "keyboard type"
(e.g., USB=US national, UKB=UK national, USI=US multinational) to the
host?

I'm guessing it's through the QUERY function of the Write Structured Field
command, presumably in the KEYBOARD ID and EXTENDED KEYBOARD ID fields,
but I can't find any docs on how the information is encoded.
