CTY=US&FNC=SRX&PBL=GA23-0059-07 Since two are reporting success (by some serendipitous means ?), I wondered if Michael Palin really was right and it was "just resting" but I'm pretty sure John Cleese's assessment was the more accurate. In the days when I was on top of this topic, my little presentation covering it mentions only 4 manuals as reference: 1. 3270 Information Display System: Data Stream Programmer's Reference, GA23-0059 2. 3270 Buffer Address Codes, GA23-0057 3. 3270 Information Display System: 3274 Control Unit: Description and Programmer's Guide, GA23-0061 4. 3174 Subsystem Control Unit: Functional Description, GA23-0218 Probably you need only 1 and 4 in order to cover your investigations. I'm sure I would have known if there was ever a "Data Stream Programmer's Guide" - and I never heard of one! There is one hit using Google for "Data Stream Programmer's Guide". The "form number" is given as GA23-0059.
