Your guess is worth what I paid for it. I started on the 3277 back when the competition was the 2260 and am at home with 3270 data streams.
What you wrote was "this will mean a new application *cannot* use existing hardware,", which isn't even close to saying that you need dual paths, and is false. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

That's very different from not liking dual paths, which you never even hinted at. I never said it would affect existing displays. I said it would affect existing applications. But I already apologized for not explaining in sufficient detail for you to understand, so move on. >ISPF has plenty of dual paths; optionally supporting a new Start Field Contiguous or a new Protected character attribute wouldn't significantly increase that. I guess you haven't done much 3270 programming or screen design, because I gave examples of why it wouldn't be trivial to get value out of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
