In 3270 and 5250 sessions, the Clipboard has a few features that are only available from the Reflection menu: Paste Next, Cut and Append, Copy and Append.
Use Paste Next when you have more data in the Clipboard than will fit in a field, and you want to paste the remaining data into another field. Where the Paste command would start at the beginning of the data in the Clipboard, Paste Next starts at the beginning of the remaining data (that is, the Clipboard contents minus what was pasted in the previous field). Consecutive uses of Paste Next gradually empty the Clipboard.
To paste data into multiple fields
With data in the Clipboard, place the cursor in the first target field.
The steps depend on your user interface mode.
