If your terminal does not generate an X'FE' when you press CTRL+^, consult the appropriate terminal documentation to find out the keystrokes that will.

Value Marks

The value mark is a hexadecimal FD (X'FD'). This character is typed by pressing CTRL+] on most terminals.

If your terminal does not generate an X'FD' when you press CTRL+], consult the appropriate terminal documentation to find out the keystrokes that will.

Subvalue Marks

The subvalue mark is a hexadecimal FC (X'FC'). This character is typed by pressing CTRL+\ on most terminals.

If your terminal does not generate an X'FC' when you press CTRL+\, consult the appropriate terminal documentation to find out the keystrokes that will.

Segment Marks

You cannot type segment marks using the Screen Editor.Attempting to type a segment mark while in Input Mode results in a control character X'1F'. Attempting to type a segment mark while in Edit Mode results in a warning message.
