Hi Charles/Wendell;
As an operator back in the 70s, we used multiple AREAs for some of our
consoles; difficult to manage at the time and even more difficult to remember
now. I notice that AREA(NONE) is included in the sample below; here is the
whole 9 yards from the good book:
AREA {(nn[,nn]...)}
{(NONE) }
AREA specifies the size(s) of the out-of-line display area(s) on the display
console. nn is a decimal specifying the number of lines in one display area.
The first number defines the bottom area of the screen. Subsequent numbers
define areas working toward the top of the screen. The minimum number of lines
in an area is 4. The maximum number of areas is 11. The sum of the lines in all
of the areas must not exceed the screen size. No individual area can be larger
than 99. You can separate multiple values with a blank or a comma.
Note: AREA is not valid when UNIT is PRT, or DEVNUM is SYSCONS.
Default: For screen sizes and maximum and default values for AREA, see Table 1.
As someone else noted: use with care!
Regards; Phil

Hi Charles.
If you're running z/OS under z/VM, you can define a "real" console for your
testing. I use address 3E0 because (I think) it was already in the HCD
definitions provided by DTSC.
You need an entry in your CONSOLxx parmlib member that can be as simple as
CONSOLE DEVNUM(3E0) ROUTCODE(ALL)
Or most of the parms specified, like this:
CONSOLE DEVNUM(3E0) ROUTCODE(1-10,12-128)
UNIT(3270-X)
AUTH(MASTER)
DEL(RD)
RNUM(19)
RTME(1)
MFORM(J,T)
SEG(19)
AREA(NONE)
NAME(S0W103E0)
You also need a SPECIAL 3E0 3270 statement in your (VM) directory, or I think
you could issue "CP DEFINE GRAF 3E0" from the machine's PROFILE EXEC.
Once set up, you set your 3270 emulator to connect to the VM address (not your
z/OS address) and (at DTSC) port 23. You'll get a VM logon screen, from where
you'll use the CP DIAL ETPmyzos 3E0. You'll have to specify your authorization
via your ETPuserid and password, and then the DIAL will complete.
To tell z/OS to use it as a console after you DIAL, you'll also need to issue
VARY 3E0,ONLINE and VARY 3E0,CONSOLE commands to activate it.
