In the LOGON screen?
TSO/E supported 14-bit and 16-bit addressing *long* before there was a
logon screen.
The logon screen was the "side" (i.e., not "official" TSO development)
project of one one developer whose (unwelcome) contribution was hastily
adopted by management at a time when the "flavor of the month" was to
ensure that no passwords appeared at the terminal. It's the only
full-screen panel displayed by TSO/E. And, the decision to allow its
implementation was made by people that didn't fully understand the
ramifications of that decision in terms of the restrictions imposed by
that "application's" poor design.
The VM guys did a *much* better job on their logon panel, which *was*
"official" VM from the start. They obviously understood 3270 a whole lot
better.
