BTW, if you want to use the delete key in the bash command line you need to put the following line into your readline init file.

echo "\"\e[3~\"": delete-char >> ~/.inputrc

After reading this thread I finally have my command line completion back!

I have Rocket’s Bash installed, set my OMVS segment to the bash shell, used
Bluezone and created a ssh terminal session with VT320, set “disable
dimming colors” and “Use ANSI colors” and set my screen to 32x120.   I then
added export TERM=xterm to .profile and VIOLA!   Tab command line
completion!

Thanks to all!

The thing I REALY miss in OMVS is command line completion with TAB key.

But z/OS used to deny login when TERM was not in terminfo.
Did it ever get better?
If it denies login to that term setting, you try something else :)

Yah, but I wished it had presumed something minimal such as TTY33
until I could EXPORT TERM and/or set TERMINFO.  Catch-22:
can't login without correct TERMINFO; can't set TERMINFO without
logging in.

And I once had an esoteric terminal for which the developer supplied
a .terminfo source file.  With octal escape sequences.  I compiled it
with /bin/tic.  Guess why it didn't work.
