everyone is NOT using those damned emulators .... I've got 4 each 3178 "dumb" terminals in my office (each config-ed for 4 sessions) each directly connected to the m/f bmo vtam .... and guess who's real popular all of a sudden when the internet access goes belly up? this has been a good thread .... thanks to all who contributed; I learned a bunch ....

I acknowledge my ignorance wiht this ISPF topic. I still don't have a clue what this translation behind the various terminal models is intended for. Is it a relict from the time when real 3270 terminal were standard? Isn't this obsolete today when everybody is using terminal emulator software? Is it correct that this translation is only applied when displaying data on the terminal but not when writing data from the terminal? (This is at least what I seem to see). What does it translate? I tried several combinations ISPF terminal type vs. emulator-CP but the more I try the more it confuses me. I admit that, for once, I'm too lazy to RTFM. So if anyone is willing to briefly explain a case, I'd appreciate. Otherwise I'll add it to my "for a lazy rainy sunday" to-do list. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
