Re: TSO 3270 Data Stream question

I agree that decimal location 2260 could be addressed by using the 3270 order x'11E3D4' in 12-bit addressing mode. For a 24 by 80 screen, column 1 of row 5 means decimal location 4 x 80 which is 320. For this location I would expect the order x'11C540'. Cheers, Greg
