} "resizing to 24 by 80" is done by the application using the "write" vs
} "write alternate" form of the command code.
Correction Don, its erase write and erase write alternate.
Yes, that's why I used "...form of the command". My point being there
are multiple commands to "write" to the display, depending on what the
application wants to do. Of course before issuing an EWA command the
host should query the device to determine its capabilities. If one were
to send an EWA to a device that didn't support alternate sizes, the
result would be a PROG 4xx (404 I think).
For the non-3270 internals folks, all 3270 displays (except model 2s
(24x80)) have 2 sizes. 24x80 and another size. On real 3270s, there
were only a few "other" sizes, such as 32x80 (model 3), 43x80 (model 4)
or 27x?? (model 5).
