For system 2, try changing \\ to \. My guess is that on system 2, it's being used as an escape character. On Thursday, August 17, 2023 at 08:31:43 AM PDT, Tom Longfellow <03e29b607131-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: I am confused and am throwing out a Hail Mary for help.  Here

Hi list, Curiosity question more than anything. I saw an old post from Lizette talking about migrating from z/OS 1.4 to 1.7 and noticing that CAS autotune was now active. Yet I'm running 2.4, and seeing that autotune is disabled and the manual says it cannot be enabled. That leads me to a co

I have not done any play with TERMINFO Don't know how. Don't even know where it is stored. I think I 'might' have had to do some kind of TERMINFO thing in the ancient past before z/OS standardized them and made it no longer necessary to create /tty directories and the like. --

Thanks for all the ideas so far.Here are some answers to the posed questions. The same emulator is used for both systems. That emulator is connected to a session switcher on system 2. System 1 is accessed via standard APPN/SNA/VTAM routing. (only one emulator is involved.) The value

Agree with Shmuel. I assume the same emulator profile is used for both? If you are working with z/OS Unix for sure you want 1047. If using Vista TN3270 it identifies that as "US C Programming". Maybe you aren't seeing a "`" correctly (backtick). Regards, Mark -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consul
