Once within the SNA session, you are stuck with the dimensions determined

warn the application that all is not as it should be, one of 082A, 082B or
084A.

I have written and used applications communicating with 3290 and 3180 terminals that change the screen dimensions on the fly, under user control, using an explicit partition WSF. This functions as expected using EXCP, local non-SNA, and SNA. The only problems I've ever run into were with ISV software that mis-handles buffer compression, etc.

The only time I've ever run into a 082B was in our network solicitor, when a user was playing with the device.
