Andrew Be aware that the TSO APAR to which you referred is ***not*** the key TSO APAR covering Edward's enhancement. It is a subsidiary APAR. If you check the material in the document to which Edward refers - as I did a little while ago - you will see that the primary issue is ensuring that the default presentation space dimensions can be other than 24 rows and 80 columns when the "Read Partition Query" is used in order to obtain presentation space dimensions from the emulator.
If you manage to specify default presentation space dimensions other than 24 rows and 80 columns either by means of the function introduced with what we can call Edward's enhancement - or - force presentation space dimensions other than 24 rows and 80 columns by means of the X'7F' (or, to be comprehensive, X'7E') specification in the penultimate byte of the PSERVIC operand, you can get into trouble with the "logon panel" application of TSO. It is getting out of this trouble which is the subject of APAR OA17477. Unfortunately I don't have the possibility to be registered so that I can examine the text of this APAR in detail. However, from the "NextGen 3270" document to which Edward referred, I can see that it is a matter of the text of the panels used by the logon panels needing to be restricted so that it does not extend to a presentation space larger than 4096 bytes. This explains why Edward's suggested default presentation space dimensions are 51 rows and 80 columns - 51 x 80 = 4080 < 4096 - QED. The reason for the 4096 limit is that the addressing bytes have to use the 14-bit format and that is *not* what the panels of the logon application have used until now. It is APAR OA16111 which offers the flexibility Edward invites you to appreciate. You need this APAR in order for the presentation space dimensions to be set by specifications within a suitable 3270 emulator - not currently PCOMM, you'll need BlueZone or Vista - rather than the mode table entry with the X'7F' specification in the penultimate byte of the PSERVIC operand as given in the referenced post.
