I believe that you're thinking of the WorkStation Agent, which, alas, IBM has dropped. I found it extremely useful, despite the awful limitations of cut-and-paste. What I really want is X11 support in TSO and ISPF. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 _

Yes, it would be easy to define structured fields for Unicode text. I would hope that any such extension would include bidi support and the selection of the proper first/middle/last forms in Semitic alphabets. I'd still like to see X11 support. From: IBM

Hi Found the error. The error was not the codepage of the setup.py, but the codepage of the imported file _common . Once it got chtag -tc 1047 _common.py I got further. Thanks for the input. BR Frank Allan Rasmussen -- For IB

The JCL Ref. calls "#", "$" and "@" "National" characters and 12 others "Special" characters. The ISPF User's Guide calls "#", "$" and "@" "Special" characters; otherwise discussing national language support. For clarity in discourse, shouldn't a single corporation be consistent in its terminol

I'd choose ISPF since JCL predates ISPF by a decade or two. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email. GPG Public Key - https://api.protonmail.ch/pks/lookup?op=get&search=markjac...@protonmail.com --- Original Message --- On Monday, July 10th, 2023 at 9:27 AM, Pau

It’s difficult to use modern tools when the systems you work on are air gapped. I can’t recreate your problem but I used a different method. I downloaded a zip file from Github, uploaded it to z/OS and followed these steps: jar xf psutill-master.zip cd psutil-master chtag -R -tc iso8859-1 . pyt
