> Does 3270 protocol require that PAS fields be writable, therefore tabbable? Bad design. It's perfectly reasonable to want to specify a read-only PAS menu item. (Too few bits in the attribute byte?) I'm no expert in the 3270 protocol, but I don't think PAS is described in the architecture. I'd rather think PAS is purely something a 3270 application has to implement: Read the cursor position returned, check if it lies within the "PAS field", and if so act accordingly. -- Peter Hunkeler -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

> Not all that difficult to do using standard 3270 orders: SBA to the screen location; SF to start an unprotected field. Immediately SF to start a protected field. I'm fairly certain this will allow TAB to go the the 0-length unprotected field which precedes the ​protected field. If not, then change the SF to say unprotected+dark and make then next data byte a simple blank. This will surely work, but the cursor will be placed ahead of the PAS text. Probably not the desired result. -- Peter Hunkeler -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
