My recollection is that the largest 3270 like terminal that IBM ever made was 160x47. I never had
one so I don't know exactly. I do remember 160 was the width. I don't remember the rows but I think
it was 46 or 47. But, it may have been 49. MVS and VM needed a PTF to support it. It sounds like
some of the code to support that terminal is still in VM.

Same thing happens with z/VM 5.2 and HostExplorer 10.
49 x 160 works on my system. At a width of 160, rows of 50 or more, have
the disconnect problem.
I know this doesn't answer your question. But it seems to indicate that
there is not a fix in the more recent z/VM and HostExplorer(?).

Subject: Max size 3270 screen
What is the maximum size a VM 3270 screen can be?
I like 66 x 160 and it works for most things in HostExplorer.
But it disconnects me when I use PEEK or NAMES when I hit <Enter>.
I have played with some smaller sizes but they disconnect too.
I'm running z/VM 3.1.
Is this a problem with z/VM or HostExplorer?
