Hello,
I am working with Linux/390 and I am trying to do a few things with
the 3270 console. One of the first things I am trying to do is to
clear the screen. I have been unable to do that so far. I have tried the
following things:
- Looking in the termcap or terminfo databases. The termcap and
terminfo sections for 3270 are quite incomplete. As a result,
programs like /bin/clear don't function properly.
- In looking around, I found a diagnose 58 call that appears to work in
CMS, but fails with an invalid instruction in Linux. Either I am not
calling it correctly, or it doesn't work unless you are using CMS.
I am looking for an easy way to clear the 3270 screen from Linux. If
anyone can point to documentation about that, that would be greatly
appreciated. If anyone knows if it is possible to clear the screen
with inbound data that would be even better.
Thanks.
