3279-5

[Frank Marcusky]

There has got to be a way to make 27 X 132 column screens to work but I need help. Is it documented some where on how to do this.

My thanks go out to all that have made this possible. Love my main frame at home.

Could you possibly be any more obtuse?  What operating system
are you running, with what configuration options, and how do you
wish to use the device - under TCAM, VTAM, or with EXCP? Or for
TSO sessions? With or without ISPF?  What client software exists
on your PC/Mac side?

I am using Hercules 3 and the MVS 3.8j Turnkey 3 on XP and Linux. Everything
is working fine except for 327x mod 5s. I am trying to get 132 col screen on
TSO, much easier to browse output listings.  On XP I use WC3270 and on Linux
I am using X3270, both will emulate a 27 X 132 screen. I think TSO is
picking up the wrong logmode but thats a guess, I see the correct logmode in
VTAMSRC(BSPLMT01) S32785. Just not sure where to look, its been 20 years
since I did this for a living but its neat having MVS again. Thanks..

TK3 was created before the mod to enable wide screen support was published.  The update includes the recent version of ZP60009 from:

http://www.prycroft6.com.au/vs2mods/index.html 

and the values contained in:

Phil:

Installed zp60009 and zp60008 and the change to ATCSTR00. Did clpa logged on
to TSO and still only 80 columns x 24 rows. Tried the 'terminal
scrsize(27,132)' command and that didnt change any thing. Could it be that
RPF and Queue are only 80 column apps ? Just thought it would be nice to
have 132 cols but I can get by with 80.

After the term command i did notice that CLS doesnt clear the screen till i
enter the term scrsize(24,80) command. I installed the latest Q, RPF and
RAKF, thought I read that Q could use the wide screen.

 My WEB server (www.marcusky.net) is also running MVS so I have remote
access to both, its kinda neat. All  my pgms and clist I wrote 20+ years ago
are all working. I retired from IBM in 2000 after 33 years of service. Sorry
to be such a burden but at work I had wide screen and graphics, kinda miss
that.

Thanks for your help.

UPDATE

I just tried 32X80 and that works perfect, didnt work before the mods so
were getting close. I will try a couple other terminal types as well. So you
have helped me a lot already, only thing left is 132 columns.
All I did was set the 3270 emulator to 32x80 (3279-3) and as soon as I
logged on it was there.

Thanks a million.....

I do not think that 3270 graphics is intended (by IBM)
to work on wide screens.  Of course, that does not
mean it would not work for apps looking for it on wide
screens where the terminal emulator does allow it.

Greg

Unfortunately most TSO software is written to fit only model 2
hardware. The extensions for model 3 and 4 were relatively
simple, but most programs were never upgraded.

There are several versions of clear screen utilities floating
around. The worst has hardcoded a buffer address for the last
byte on screen, preventing it from working correctly in the
general case. There are two other versions out there, one using
only RA,(1,1) to wrap-around, isolating it from screen geometry,
and one using TSO macros.

May I suggest that you look at http://www.prycroft6.com.au/ for
free software. Greg has REVIEW, an editor (plus lots more) that
I believe to handle model 5 terminals. He also wrote TERMTEST, a
TSO function to display current session capabilities, helpful in
diagnosing configuration problems. And with the caveat that I'm
a customer not otherwise connected with them, look at the
BlueZone terminal emulator at http://www.bluezonesoftware.com/.
They offer single copies at a reasonable price. I started out as
a beta tester when the product was developed by Renex, and it
has good support for features not available otherwise (graphics,
explicit partitions, etc.).

Have cut and pasted various things from posts you made.

ZP60008, ZP60009 & ATCSTR00 changes should permit 132 function on original TK3 environment.

Greg's modifications don't utilize the logmode data and instead query the 3270 client as to what it is capable of displaying ( IIRC ).  The switch between various modes is automatic without needing the entry of "term xxxxx".

Downloaded a fresh copy of wc3270 non-install version this morning and it does not enable 132 wide display.  IIRC x3270 under linux does however ( it has been a while since I tinkered with this ).  Model parm is passed as an argument on both "wc3270 -model 3279-5e localhost 3270" or "x3270 -model-5e localhost 3270".

You mentioned you had installed a recent version of Q.  That should utilize the wide display once it is working.  RPF and REVIEW also take advantage of the wide screen as well ( possibly only later versions of those as well ).

Phil

ps - extended attributes have to be used to get 132 wide also I believe

[Frank Marcusky]

Phil:

 Ok 132 cols is now working on X3270. Thank You Thank You.

It sounds like you got x3270 to work on Linux, but
didn't get wc3270 to work on Windows, even though it
supposedly should be able to do that.

If that is the case, can you report the bug to the
author. He is very responsive (fixed a bug I reported
in under an hour or something).

Thanks.  Paul.

Hi Frank,

Could you recap the steps you took to make it work with wc3270?

Thank you, Scott

[Frank Marcusky]

Scott:

Backed up all my volumes.

 Next thing I did was update Queue to P6.2007.Jan.01 and RPF to 1.5.3
because from what I read they each have 132 col support.

 Then I made the following recommended changes from Paul to
SYS1.VTAMLST(ATCSTR00).
IOBUFF=(020,3992,10,F)
PPBUF=020,3992,10,F)

 Unrealted to 132 col I made some changes to TSO APPL  and NETSOL so I asm
the VTAM tables.

And did a IPL

 Applied UMODs ZP60008 and ZP60009.

Did a IPL with clpa and everything worked.

Right on!

After logon, the terminal screen should have the appropriate
dimensions even at the READY prompt, without invoking any
fullscreen application.

Re-visiting this this morning, I looked back to when I last conversed with Paul Mattes concering a standalone distributable of wc3270 for inclusion in a future TK CD.  It looks to have been in April and a solution for 132 selection was limited by a windows glitch IIRC.  The non-install solution he came up with was slightly different than what we had been exchanging ideas about.  When the initial wc3270 wizard is run and then wc3270 started with the init file as it's argument, 132 column support becomes available.

Above should read "x3270 -model 3279-5e localhost 3270".

Group:

 To get back to the 27 x 132 TSO screen my goal was to get full page (60 x
132) and I did but the CLS (clear screen pgm) would only clear the first 24
rows so I dug out my old programs from 30 years ago and tried my CLS pgm and
it works fine in all the screen sizes. I put a copy of the asm source at
www.lville.us/mvs38j if any one would like to try it.

 My server has just over 10GB free space that I would be happy to donate a
chunk of for the group. My speed to the server is 15mbit and from the server
is 1mbit so files 10mbyte or less shouldn't be a problem. I pay a flat rate
and I hope that continues.

Thanks

So is this a bug in MVS 3.8j then? Sounds like your
CLS should replace the one IBM supplied.

Might be worth seeing if the TK4 people are willing
to do that?

Given that this Yahoo group is restricted to 5 MB (I
think) max, what files were you thinking of storing
that are 5-10 MB in size?
