Re: I'm not sure if this is an EE issue or WC3270

Ah!
I forgot to move my profile over.
You said it works the same as Xedit.? When I try to use prefix commands or next or forward or other commands I'm used to ... they don't work.
Is there a list of what does and doesn't work?
BTW, I contacted the guy who did KEdit and thus far I'm the only one to ask about a VM version.? He says he wrote it for Windows but it might be possible to do a VM version.
Also he said he might consider opening the source if he decides to drop support.
Bert.
Bert, Neither! EE behaves exactly the same as XEDIT does ¡°out of the box¡±. If you want NULLS then you need to have ¡°NULLS ON¡± in your PROFILE EE file. Dave ? ? I understand how the 3270 works with regards to various VM editors.? It is my memory that with XEDIT and EDGAR I could do an insert without doing an Erase EOF. Maybe they put nulls and not spaces, as my memory recalls the insert key worked without any additional work. Does anyone else remember how XEDIT worked in this regard?? Maybe the additional question is how should EE work?? IMHO, being able to use the insert key is an advantage. ? That's the way the 3270 behaves. I don't know if there's a way to tell EE to use nulls instead of spaces to fill the screen, like you can with ISPF, but basically, you have to have nulls in a field to do an insert?like that. YOu can replace the spaces at the end of the line by positioning your cursor after the last character and hitting alt-E, which is the Erase EOF key. That will replace everything from the cursor to the end of the field (which, in EE, is the endo fhte line) with nulls, and INSERT will work. If you delete characters, the remaining ones in the field will shift left and a null will be inserted at the end of the field, so you can get some room to insert that way as well if that's what you need to do. Remember, the 3270's editing functions?are all local to the terminal, so none of this is sent directly to EE. It simply sees the changed line once you hit ENTER. ? Hello, When editing (using EE) the earlierly discussed program (TEST EXEC A), I kept getting on the WC3270 screen and "OVERFLOW" error, when trying to insert characters. 1. I edit a file with the following line in it: Now is the time for al good men to come to the aid of their VM/CE system. I move my cursor to the "al" and press the insert button.? I press the lower case L key.? Instead of the lower case L appearing, I see in the lower left hand corner of the screen "OVERWRITE"? I can't type anything on the line. I noticed if I delete characters, I CAN INSERT BUT only up to the original length on the screen for that specific line. Again I'm not sure if this is an EE issue or WC3270.
