I don't know that I disagree... Since all I use is ISPF/SDSF under TSO,
and they both support the queried larger screen size, ok with the dotted
line gutters on an 80 byte lrecl, I've always thought I was happy...
I'll have to see what your apar actually gives me that I don't have now....

Not just logon. You miss out on other functions as well.
If you set your ISPF terminal type to "1. Data", you get to use your
primary screen size whenever conditions warrant. This can be an
extremely useful capability! But its usefulness is greatly reduced
with only 24 rows available in the primary size. OTOH, if you have the
same (or nearly the same) number of rows in both primary and alternate
screen sizes, you don't lose functionality or real-estate or have to
make any tough choices. You get the best of both geometries.
This is seen as an extremely attractive way to use 3270. So much so
that it's been relatively easy to convince the developers of various
products to which I've been exposed to support the concept of allowing
query for both sizes, not just one.
Do you disagree? Have you read either of my SHARE presentations on the
subject?
