> SDSF thinks it continues What are you trying to say? Either it is one field or it is not. Where are the SF/SFE positions?

I recall no relevant experience with any other emulators. The problem with SDSF /+ is that its "Full Screen" is only 80 characters wide, so if your display is wide -- mine is 132 wide FWIW -- the field does not really continue. SDSF thinks it continues, and you know it continues, and I know it continues, but an emulator has no way of knowing.

Thanks. Citation needed. So Rob's terminal is nonconforming. But if that's the modal behavior among current emulators, it avails suppliers little to count on the "standard" behavior. Is it optional? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
