 The PA2 key does not work in omegamon running on HostAccess 3270 emulation.

 navigating through the Omegaview session.

 4168653:
 The left brace key "{" does not work in the HostAccess IBM3270 session.
 The character "{" is not available at all.  In HostAccess; Special Key; 
 Select; 3rd row, 5th character from RIGHT; { is grayed out.  If you select 
 it anyway, you get a message: "This character is not supported by the current 
 emulation". The "{" key is present in the keyboard map as mapped to the "{" string.
 The key works fine on a real 3270 terminal.

(from 106560-01)

 HostAccess in 3270 emulation does not accept commas in numeric fields
 In applications with numeric fields it is not posible to enter numbers with commas. 
 For example,  15,35  ...you will get the error message "Invalid Numeric".
 Consider that in Spain,they use decimal comma instead of decimal point.
