SEND
The SEND command sends the current aXes screen data to the aXes terminal server. It is comparable to pressing the ENTER key (by default) or a function key at a 5250 terminal.
Note: You usually need to specify SERVICE_EXCHANGE(*FIELD) in the command string in order to receive the return values into your client program variables named on keywords beginning with RTNxxx. Refer to 5.41.2 Using the AxesTerminalService for more information.
