When you are in an unsigned numeric field, and you press field- to make the value negative, a } appears. It does this in Rumba, Mochasoft, IDEAComm, Decision Data terminals and actual IBM 5250 terminals. I don't have access to CA, so I can't test against that... please post details of how it's different. (In fact, your best bet would be to send me a screenshot of CA as well as a screenshot of TN5250, showing the different results on the same screen) The mailing list doesn't allow attachments, so if you do send screenshots, either post them on a web page somewhere or send them to me directly. > > My question is why then does client access display the number properly? > I am guessing that will be the first question I get asked when I call > the programmer of our AS/400 software.

Try running tn5250 like this: tn5250 +sign_key_hack <other options> as400.example.com Make sure you're running version 0.16.5, as well... the sign key hack did not exist prior to that version. So, if you're going to send me screen shots, please make sure you have the sign_key_hack enabled when you send them. _______________________________________________ This is the Linux 5250 Development Project (LINUX5250) mailing list To post a message email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/linux5250 or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/linux5250.
