Appendix H. Accessibility

Accessibility features help a user who has a physical disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use software products successfully. The accessibility features in z/OS® provide accessibility for Debug Tool.

The major accessibility features in z/OS enable users to:

Using assistive technologies

Assistive technology products work with the user interfaces that are found in z/OS. For specific guidance information, consult the documentation for the assistive technology product that you use to access z/OS interfaces.

Keyboard navigation of the user interface

Users can access z/OS user interfaces by using TSO/E or ISPF. Refer to z/OS TSO/E Primer, z/OS TSO/E User’s Guide, and z/OS ISPF User’s Guide Volume 1 for information about accessing TSO/E and ISPF interfaces. These guides describe how to use TSO/E and ISPF, including the use of keyboard shortcuts or function keys (PF keys). Each guide includes the default settings for the PF keys and explains how to modify their functions.

Accessibility of this document

Information in the following formats of this document is accessible to visually impaired individuals who use a screen reader:

Syntax diagrams start with the word Format or the word Fragments. Each diagram is preceded by two images. For the first image, the screen reader will say "Read syntax diagram". The associated link leads to an accessible text diagram. When you return to the document at the second image, the screen reader will say "Skip visual syntax diagram" and has a link to skip around the visible diagram.

For BookManager users only:
A screen reader might say the lines, symbols, and words in a diagram, but not in a meaningful way. For example, you might hear "question question dash dash MOVE dash dash plus dash dash literal-1 dash dash plus" for part of the MOVE statement. You can enter Say Next Paragraph to move quickly through syntax diagrams if your screen reader has that capability.
