Shmuel, IKIM (I know I mean) that LINEMODE requires a BIND that specifies LU type 1 in the first byte of the presentation services field. Likewise the various 3270 devices types require *either* a BIND that specifies LU type 0 *or* LU type 2 in the first byte of the presentation services field (ex

Re: Access to Mainframes via Putty?

Shmuel, Pat rather anticipated what I was planning to say here - but I'll express it slightly differently. Most people have a "pain" threshold when it comes to doing anything which can be mapped to a degree of difficulty. At the time I tried to implement automation for the purposes of teaching it

Re: Mount a tape

But Erik - we'd all miss the free flow of reminiscences and lateral thinking which a positive misunderstanding of such requests generates. :-) That said, I can see that an occasional reminder to try to imagine the effect of a request for help on the audience might be productive. It was clearly imp

Re: Access to Mainframes via Putty?

Pat, I've already dealt with Shmuel's comment. In addition I can add the following: 1. Interestingly enough, the IBM3767 MODEENT doesn't have a PSERVIC so the TELNET server, otherwise the TN3270 server, will indeed have to change the BIND image in the received CINIT in order to specify X'01' in

Re: COBOL Compile time Question

Alan, Please post the line from the system messages beginning with 'IEF374I' for the compile step so that we can see how much region it used. What is the REGION specification for the compile step? Does the COBOL source include any 'EXEC CICS' translator statements? I would personally expect to

Re: Is VIO mandatory?

Hal, What tales hang by these threads! The mention of COBOL and its work files brought to mind a little exercise born of naivety. I was supporting a DOS (that's the DOS that ran on the 360/30) customer and thought I'd encourage a programmer who was the Miss COBOL of the installation to innovate b

Re: TN3270 Question

Shmuel, I'm not clear what is supposed to be "wrong" here. In so far as an RFC is supposed to be about protocols it should not prohibit implementations which can follow descriptions of the appearance one entity has of another at the point the protocol applies. Thus it is indeed wrong that RFC 2355
