Hello Alan,
Thanks for the info. I do have NOTN3270E specified
INTERNALCLIENTPARMS
PORT 23
PORT 2300
TIMEMARK 600
CCSTERMNAME TCPIP
CONNECTEXIT SCEXIT
NOTN3270E
MTU sizes? I have '1500' specified in my PROFILE TCPIP. I'll check with
the client. Is there any trace on the mainframe that I can do that would
help diagnose the error?
I didn't realize IND$FILE wasn't supported. Do you have an idea how
IND$FILE does its business and reports on errors?
Regards,
Mike

You can always specify NOTN3270E in InternalClientParms to see if it a
problem. (In all cases where NOTN3270E has fixed a problem, the defect
was in the 3270 client software, not VM.)

...which has nothing to do with TN3270E. (People sometimes confuse the
"TN3270 Enhancements" RFC with "3270 extended attributes".

Remember that IND$FILE is provided as-is on the host. There is no
support. As to what the pop-up is showing, that's in the realm of the
emulator. It can show you whatever it wants. Talk to the emulator
vendor.

The emulator could act differently when configured for TCP/IP vs. SNA.
I
would expect the 3270 data stream from the emulator to the host to be
identical.

Make sure the MTU sizes are correct all along the way between the host
and
the workstation. If a frame is truncated, you will get errors.
