As Pipelines touches almost everything VM/CMS I assume following question is appropriate within this list, albeit it is somewhat related to 3270 emulations too.
Until this weekend I assumed the display from > pipe(sep !)xrange 40-ff!fblock 16!term and > pipe(sep !)xrange 40-ff!fblock 16!brw would look similar on any single display. Alas it depends which TN3270 emulation I use there are considerable differences on many codepoints (the colours are not a problem). The options and attributes I tried did not help too much. Question: how may I ensure the browse stage to use the same codepage like Xedit or fullcreen cms on every 3270? Up to now I used BRW with the attribute 06X to get yellow letters on black background, and with 'X' a for sure nonexistent programmed symbol set assuming this would enforce the default. Wrong, a better 3270 emulation displayed nothing but PROG753 and blocked. Addendum to the above question: How may I ensure yellow on black (or if not possible a default setting) without _for sure not_ blocking any terminal? Regarding colours, I assumed BRW without attributes uses defaults for highlighting, colour and PSS, but BRW (000000 displays in a different colour on one screen. From the description: Use X'00' to select the default attribute value depending on the terminal. To make it non-ambiguous and clear: my problem is the difference between display of special characters between Xedit or Type or PIPE...!term on the one hand and PIPE...!BRW otherwise. Quite possible you observe no difference as I did until yesterday. The difference between one terminal or 3270 emulator to others is another subject.
