<h2>Work Station Support APIs</h2>
<p>The work station support APIs allow you to control the type-ahead
characteristics of a work station and to retrieve information about the last
output operation to the requester device for the specified interactive job.</p>
<p><strong>Type-ahead</strong>, also called <strong>keyboard
buffering</strong>, lets the user type data faster than it can be sent to the
system. <strong>Attention key buffering</strong> determines how to process the
action of pressing an attention key. If attention key buffering is on, the
attention key is treated as any other key. If attention key buffering is not
on, pressing the attention key results in sending the information to the system
even when other work station input is inhibited.</p>
<p>You can enter the parameters for the QWSQRYWS and QWSSETWS APIs in mixed
case. The APIs convert them to uppercase. For all other APIs, you must enter
all parameters in uppercase.</p>
<p>The keyboard buffering data stream is supported by the following
controllers:</p>
<ul>
<li>ASCII Work Station Input/Output Processor</li>
<li>Twinaxial Work Station Input/Output Processor</li>
<li>5394 Remote Control Unit</li>
<li>5494 Control Unit</li>
</ul>
<p>IBM<SUP>(R)</SUP> Personal Computer Systems attached by iSeries<SUP>(TM)</SUP> Access or work station
emulation (WSE) do not support the type-ahead data stream. Keyboard buffering
for these devices is controlled through the emulation programs.</p>
<p> The work station support APIs are:</p>
