You nailed it - it is all in the application and not in the 3270 architecture itself.
It's just code - stringing together one's and zero's in the right sequence to cause the computer to do the right thing. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
