I'm hoping those of you interested in extending the 3270 protocol, and have not yet done so, will request the ANCAS24 usermod from TSO/E level 2 as soon as possible. Even if you're unable to exploit the new function right away, the request sends the right message as to level of interest in this support. Given enough interest, there is an excellent chance the TSO/E folks can be convinced to turn this valuable support into a new function APAR.
If IBM can be convinced to make improvements, why not go whole hog? The IBM 3180 introduced user specified screen sizes as part of the explicit partition support. I found this out the hard way when I coded a partition request with the 24 and 80 in the wrong order. I don't think Vista supports this, but Seagull does.
For one thing, I would prefer an 82*nn format for editing source with full sequence fields, and 90*nn for editing 80 column data in a sequenced data set. Other sizes are left to the reader.....
