Re: PCOMM 15 UID

[Paul Feller]

I would agree there is very little in the way of documentation around the 
contents of the WS file.  I've used PCOMM for many years.  What little 
documentation there is seems to be only related to when there are issues.  One 
example that comes to mind is the use of the TerminalTypeString parameter.  
Another example is the IgnoreWCCStartPrint parameter and as far as I remember 
that is not even documented in a PCOMM manual.

Good luck getting an answer. 

Paul

Let me clarify: I didn't ask about UUID nor I asked to expand the shortcut.
I asked about the meaning of UID as a parameter in WS file.

Unfortunately syntax (parameters) of WS file is not documented.

I now find myself needing to use PCOMM 14.0 instead of VIsta.  I'd like to set 
a custom screen size other than the larger value available in the

AFAIK PCOMM does not record default values in the WS file.
Worse: *there is no documentation available*. Yes, there is no 
documentation explaining all (at least most) .WS file keywords.


Hint: in case of screensize or any other setting simply try to create 
test file with non-standard settings. You will find the difference. 
Fortunately most of the keyword names are self-explanatory.

Re: PCOMM alternate screen size

[Schmitt, Michael]

Check what gets updated when you change the screen size to one of the other 
listed values. It must be saving it somewhere, either in a config file or in 
the registry. And there's only so many places that PCOMM stores configuration 
files.

When you find what's updated, note how it stores this setting.

Dana,

You need to code the screensize parameter under 3270.  So, edit the .WS file 
with any text editing software and add the following.

[3270]
QueryReplyMode=Auto
HostCodePage=1047-U
Screensize=50x135


Save it and then launch the pcomm session.

Thanks,

You know what's better than CNTL-C and CNTL-V?
A checkbox that will automatically copy content to clipboard, when you draw a

Not connected to a work machine right now to tell the actual option.
But it exists in PCOMM..

Re: PCOMM printer session display is blank

[Statler, David]

Jake,

Once you start up the PCOMM printer session, you will see it Active in VTAM, 
but you won't see the ACT/S until it is in session with something (like getting 
Acquired in a CICS region).

We use a different emulator than PCOMM, so I can't really speak to how it's 
supposed to act.  If we start a PC attached printer session, the screen shows a 
basic "Printer ready for work" message.

Subject: PCOMM printer session display is blank

Hi,

Cross posted.


This is regarding PCOM 5.7.

I have configured the PCOM for a printer session with Telnet 3270. When I see 
printer LU, I see it as active but not with ACT/S.

What I am expecting here is when I configure and connect PRINTER session in 
PCOMM, long time back I remember we used to receive a printers session display 
on PCOMM screen showing what is connected. For me it just shows blank but at 
the bottom it says connected.

Is there any driver files that might be missing to show up the desired printer 
display screen in PCOMM ?

Could someone please provide your direction on where I might be looking in ?

Jake

Re: PCOMM macro/script - Copy Screens, Copy Append

[Wendell Lovewell]

We've used Passport for several years.  Here's a VBScript example for Passport 
that will allow you to specify the number of screens you want to copy and 
optionally the beginning and ending row on the screen.  After it copies each 
screen and appends it to a temporary file, it invokes my editor so that I can 
see the whole capture.

Comments start with a single quote.  At the end there is another way of doing 
this using VBScripts FileScriptingObject (FSO).  Passport had some issues with 
a 60x100 screen that way, so I stayed with the first version.  But maybe it 
matches PCOMM's functions better.  At least it shows how to work with FSOs.  

The macrouses Passport functions: 
GetScreenSize
AppendPSToFile
SendHostKeys
WaitForHostUpdate

And the VBScript functions: 
MsgBoxGetInput
Shell

I have the macro assigned to CTRL-S in my Passport keyboard so that I can just 
press Ctrl-S and be prompted for the number of pages, begin row & end row on 
each screen.  It saves the screen & pages down that number of times, then 
starts my editor with the results in the C:\temp file.

Re: PCOMM macro/script - Copy Screens, Copy Append

Our Team has used OpenRexx with the PCOMM HLLAPI for years for this sort of 
thing.

E,g. hrc = HLLAPI('Sendkey',ARG(1) ) 

To send a command to the current 3270 window.

Subject: PCOMM macro/script - Copy Screens, Copy Append

Using PCOMM Ver 6.0.  

The goal is to copy several CICS screens as a script (or macro) runs.  24x80 
green-screen stuff.  

First step is to create or record the macro or script. 
The problem is that PCOMM's  Edit-Copy  and  Edit-Append  are not supported 
under PCOMM's Start Recording, either as a macro or VBScript. 
Start Recording will record keystrokes, but not Edit-Copy, etc.  
[Edit-Copy (and Append) copies the text of a screen to the Windows clipboard.] 

The VBScript can be edited.  Are there VBScript statements that will copy 
screens (text) as they are presented? 
I'm studying VBScript syntax now (WshShell - SendKeys might work), but if the 
wheel's already been invented . . . 

Any help appreciated. 

Thanks -
Richard Zierdt

Must it be PCOMM?  x3270 has a feature to Copy Screens Continously 
{text|HTML|RTF}
to a file.  HTML preserves color/highlighting very nicely, but text probably 
meets your
needs better.

Long ago, I used c3270 under script(1) to capture a session.  I could play it 
back as
a movie.  I couldn't control the pacing nicely; I deemed it a solution seeking 
a problem.

Re: PCOMM copy-paste (quite another issue)

[Salva Carrasco]

Hi Radoslaw,

I found your post about APL char and PCOMM copy/paste, because I've the same 
problem, specially with ISPF and Omegamon screens. But no solution was 
provided. After some googling and IBM's infocenter reading, I became to the 
conclusion that it was not possible, so I decided to work about it.

In the first approach I learned (not documented) that the APL attribute was in 
the EXTFIELD Plane last bit. This plane is not available for standard APIs (VB, 
Macro, ...), but yes for the HACL (Java and C). I tried C, but the API only 
compiles with MS Visual C and IBM visual studio. So I went to java. I spent two 
days until I learned that it only works if compiled with an old Java SDK 
(1.4.2). Finally I created a simple macro "[Run Applet] CopyApl.class" that 
runs the applet and assigned it to a key. 

In PCOMM 5.9, the process pcscm.exe enter in a loop and your session (TN3270) 
become very slow. I installed 5.9.7 and now works fine.

The program is not completed, it only translate a few APL chars (box drawing). 
It leaves unicode text in the system clipboard. If you're using Lotus Notes, 
paste it with Courier New font. Does not ask why i'm using (rows*cols)+1, i do 
not understand but it works. Select show console in run applet menu for 
debugging. Feedback wellcome.

Regards, Salva.

The code:

import com.ibm.eNetwork.ECL.*;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.datatransfer.Clipboard;
import java.awt.datatransfer.StringSelection;

public class CopyApl implements ECLAppletInterface {

ECLPS ps = null;

public CopyApl() {
}

public void init(ECLSession session) {
ps = session.GetPS();
int rows = ps.GetSizeRows();
int cols = ps.GetSizeCols();
char[] bufferT = new char[(rows*cols)+1];
char[] bufferX = new char[(rows*cols)+1];

try {

ps.GetScreen(bufferT,(rows*cols)+1,ECLConstants.TEXT_PLANE);

ps.GetScreen(bufferX,(rows*cols)+1,ECLConstants.EXFIELD_PLANE);
} catch (ECLErr e) { System.out.println(e.GetMsgText()); }

int i;
int col = cols;
char c;
String so = "";

Sorry for the late reply, but can you point to an online copy of the -9 edition 
of that manual?  Bitsavers has only the -0 and -5 editions, and I can't seem to 
find it anywhere on the IBM sites either.  Lots of references to it, but no 
actual copies.

The replacement manual for the -10 edition, GA23-0060-0, which bitsavers does 
have, seems to have only pages E1 and E2.  At least, there is no figure E2 
present.

TIA for any info/url you can provide.

In this case, if the emulator does not convert them to another

That's an issue regardless of what code page it is using.

I doubt that it's an APL font; TEXT is more likely. Page 437 is more
likely than either.

That's an issue regardless of what code page it is using.

True that they are not unique to APL and is a code page issue. However, some of 
the lines drawn on 3270 screens in many emulators are drawn using an APL font 
instead of Unicode or some other code page.   In this case, if the emulator 
does not convert them to another character set or code page when putting the 
text in the clipboard, then the PC application receiving the data will display 
the corresponding characters using the character set it has loaded.

They're not unique to the APL character set. The problem is code that is not 
code-page aware.

Shouldn't this be "and"?

Also I found nothing in the manual about setting the RFC 2355 (TN3270) "device 
type"[1] character string to "IBM-DYNAMIC" which, although it was not mentioned 
in the original post, a subsequent post indicated that the environment was 3270 
TELNET. I appreciate that persuading the TN3270 client emulator logic to offer 
"IBM-DYNAMIC" as the "device type" isn't vital since the mode name (logon mode 
table entry name) can be specified in the USS command - or - the "device code" 
offered can be forced to map to one of the two "SNA" (as opposed to 
"non-SNA"[1]) "dynamic" mode names, D4A32XX3 or D4C32XX3 by overriding the 
default TELNETDEVICE statements.

-

[1] "Terminal type" is pre-TN3270 (RFC 2355) terminology for 3270 TELNET - just 
to clear up another potential source of confusion!

[2] If the first byte of the "presentation services" field (PSERVIC operand) of 
the logon mode table entry is X'02' (LU type 2), the entry is "SNA". If the 
first byte of the "presentation services" field of the logon mode table entry 
is X'00' (LU type 0), the entry is "non-SNA". The session follows SNA protocols 
only when it has passed though the VTAM protocol converter logic - see Chapter 
"Programming for the IBM 3270 Information Display System" of the z/OS 
Communications Server SNA Programming manual.

If byte 24 is X'03', the default screen size is 24 x 80 and the alternate is 
what you configured with PC/3270



So what is described is setting an user-defined *alternate* size. The *primary* 
size is - according to the architectural rules surrounding the presence of 
X'03' as the penultimate byte of the "presentation services" field for a 
session using the 3270 data stream - always 24x80 and PCOMM would appear to 
insist on following the architecture.

Tant pis!

Note that the same reference was given by Sri Kolusu.

Which, as I replied to Bob Rutledge who provided the identical recommendation

Re: PCOMM copy-paste (quite another issue)

[Steve Bireley]

The reason is that the line drawing characters use the APL character set. When 
you paste to another application, it does not know how to handle the those 
characters so they display as the corresponding ASCII characters at the same 
position in the character set. Some emulators convert the lines to Unicode line 
drawing characters in the clipboard so they paste properly. Screen printing may 
do the same thing.  I do not know if you can get PCOMM to covert those prior to 
pasting.

Bob,

no dice, it tells me how to set a user-defined primary size, but not a
user-defined alternate.  I'm running 32X132 primary, and I would like to run
43X80 alternate, but PCOMM has no parm I can find for that.  I'm hoping
someone here will know the trick.
