I'm sure he meant "character art". 3270DS are not ASCII.
In 1970 my sister signed up for a programming class in high school. My dad
was intrigued, since he was writing code on OS/360 and teaching computing.
He was furious when it turned out that their assignments comprised creating
character art. I forget what happened but I think she transferred out of
the class.

My TSMBIRD was ASCII art on a 3277; is your ILRBIRD fancier?
ASCII ? 3277?
It's easier to believe EBCDIC character cell.
Or do 3277 data streams support ASCII?
