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.

To exchange field RTNSIG and RTNSCREEN values, you will need to specify the SERVICE_EXCHANGE(*FIELD) in the command string.
