Hi Mike,

Are the spaces missing right when you paste or after you hit an AID key
to send the pasted data to the host and the host has rewritten the
screen?  Pasting into an emulator is a local function that does not show
up on a trace until the screen is updated by the host.

A trace of the data sent to solve would show you whether the spaces
between words are space characters or nulls and might give you some idea
of what the problem is.

Subject: 3270 Emulator "Attachmate Extra" + CA-Solve

Hi,

We have a problem with Attachmate Extra's ability to handle spaces, but 
the problem only happens when cutting and pasting text in the CA problem

management tool called "SOLVE".

Here is what happens:-

I'll copy some text (from inside SOLVE), and then paste it, and all of
the 
spaces disappear and the words will all be scrunched together. Hence you

need to waste time spacing them all out (again).

However, Attachmate Extra works just fine when working inside TSO/ISPF,
or 
in any of our other mainframe applications (ie: CICS, IMS, etc). The 
spaces are preserved (as is to be expected).

I've tried changing the Edit Setting for the "Cut/Clear Filler" option,
to 
say "Replace with spaces", and it does not make any difference.

However, when we use a different 3270 Emulator, then there is no
problem. 
Emulators which do not have this problem include IBM "eNetwork Personal 
Communications", and also "Host on Demand".

Sorry, but I cannot say what version Extra we're running, as I'm posting

this message from home and using the IBM emulator, not "Extra".

Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong with EXTRA, and how perhaps

to fix this (time-wasting) problem??

All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks very much.
