I'm currently doing the prepatory work to install zOS 1.6 with Arabic support and although zOS doesn't support right to left, the emulator does. There is quite a bit of work to do for zOS to support Arabic, such as ISPF/PDF screens being displayed in Arabic, DB2 and WAS in Arabic but it can be done. To set up yout PCOMM session to edit from right to left: 1. Select 420 Arabic Speaking as the host code page in the Customize Communication panel. 2. Select Arabic Speaking as the keyboard layout. 3. In the Select Display Font panel, choose ARB3270 at the Automatic Sizing list box or at the Fixed size font selection. 4. In the API Settings panel, select 864 as the DDE/EHLLAPI PC code page. 5. Choose Typing Arabic as the font in the Page Setup panel. And you can by pressing a combination of keys switch around.
