How about a panel that has a single field across two lines? That's bog standard. > This would only provide relief for people running wide screen 3270 modes and > most of our users are 43x80. I never considered 132 to be wide since the advent of the 3290. You have to accommodate them if your users are still in the 19th century, but 43x80 sounds so archaic. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

(1) The reason that "skip" does not work on the POPUP panel is down to the interplay between the ISPF attributes and the escape characters used to draw the window. (2) The original developer workaround for (1) was the ability to switch to a panel using PF5 to remove the POPUP window and that enables "skip" to work. (3) Automatically stripping trailing blanks from the first line would require SDSF to have knowledge of the syntax of the command or some sort of awareness of whether quotes or double-quotes are in effect and unbounded and if so, is this meaningful or not. This is not something that SDSF wants to get involved in as the text is freeform and what might appear to be apparent strange values may be expected by the receiving user or ISV software product that processes the command. The lack of "insert mode" across both lines is frustrating, but I am not sure there is a solution to that apart from a wide screen panel that has a single input field. This would only provide relief for people running wide screen 3270 modes and most of our users are 43x80.

If it's WAD, it should go to RFE. (Sometimes the offender is a faithless 3270 emulator.)
