I finally got back to my office to verify this.

And I missed where you said IBM Dynamic and 3279.

What TN3270 Emulation product are you using? In the case it may have overrides.....

I worked with ISPF support on a few issues involving screen size changes while a REXX is executing....

And yes, this is interesting. So I put the cursor on "Screen format" and hit PF1.

If they are in edit/view in any ISPF display while getting to ISPF =0, the following will apply:

*Caution:  Screen format cannot be changed while edit or an edit service is active. *

Check for that and see if this is what they are doing. If so get them to the primary display in all "splits" and then do the =0 and set up

Then set the terminal to 3279 or similar. That should unlock the 3270 Model 
types.

I’ve hit this once or twice also.

Hello list,

I have an ISPF Settings; Terminal Characteristics; Screen format mystery!

I have been searching but cannot find what causes DATA, & Max to be 'greyed 
out' on the setting panel (=0).
I have a user who cannot set Screen format to 3 (Max).
I can choose any of the options, but this user cannot select anything except 
'2' (Std).

With my userid I use the same settings
   the same logon proc;
   the same logmode -D4A32XX3,
   the same emulator settings - TN3270+; IBM-Dynamic; terminal 3279; custom size: 
60 rows & 160 cols.

...and I am able to choose any Screen format, but the other user cannot change 
from '2'.

So I'm throwing this our for any ISPF experts out there.

Is there some ISPF parm conflict that disables all but the Std option?
Or
Is there something other than logmode and emulator that controls which Screen 
Format options are available to each ISPF user?

Any ideas as to what I am missing?

Any input is appreciated. I am mystified. Also, I find nothing in the archives 
about this.

Thx much!

Jim
