Re: X3270 size

 

If you want to change the font, you have to change X resources definition (run xfontsel to see set of fonts, but without TrueType). If you want change size in rows/columns, use oversize parameter.?

So you want a larger font, which creates a bigger window, or a bigger window that then uses a larger font?

To get a bigger font, use the Session Wizard to edit your terminal session profile, option #25. Font Size. That will cause you to have a bigger window.

To get a bigger window, drag a corner to the new size, and the application should use a font size appropriate for that new window, though it won't fit precisely.

Does that help?

Bertram,

I suspect you are using a newish windows, and they have totally messed up ¡°cmd¡± shells in newer windows. I suggest you download the new ¡°wx3270¡± client¡­

?

?

and try that as your 3270 client. I did look at using this with VM CE but at that time it was only at beta.

I will look at setting things up so it can be used instead of wx3270

The official advice on the WC3270 FAQ is to create a desktop shortcut and set its properties, but its not working quite I expect..

Hi Betram,

I am not using Windows, but the x3270 standard client under Linux to access our z/system as well as the Hercules TK4 and all it takes is to use options and selection of the 3270 model to get a specific size of the terminal and the window of the client can be resized the usual way, thought the lines x columns will stay the same,? in my system.
The x3270 client used in CentOS should be available for Windows as well.
Maybe this is just your choice of client.

MONITOR Files

 

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your reply, which confirms my assumption that it cannot be done
without additional utilities. I'm just wondering why IBM made it so convenient to collect the data
but so complicated to analyze it.?

Regards,
Ralf Straube


Re: MONITOR Files

 


I'm new to VM/370 and wonder how the output of the CP MONITOR command, which is spooled to MAINT's reader, can be accessed.
I found no way to READ, RECEIVE or SFBROWSE these specific files, getting error messages like "READER EMPTY OR NOT READY"
or? "SPOOL FILE xx DOES NOT EXIST OR HIS HELD" but "Q RDR" shows these files and they are definitely not in HOLD state.
In z/VM seem to exist utilities like MONWRITE and? MONSCAN but how can this output be browsed? in VM/370?
Hi Ralf,

These can be read by various utilities that use DIAGNOSE X'14' to read spool
files. One I came across somewhere is called RRMONDSK. This was designed for
VM/SP I think but needed only a small tweak to make it work on VM/370. It was
probably on the Waterloo mods tape or one of the VM Workshop tools tapes.

Regards,
Peter Coghlan.

Re: REXX package in VM/370 Community Edition V1R1.2

 

All the functions documented in the HELP REXXFUNC?MENU screen are implemented in the?
RXUSERFN?MODULE or the RXLOCFN?MODULE with the source code on the MAINT 5E7 disk.
When these functions?are used in your REXX program, REXX knows to look?in the function
manager modules for these routines. The MODULEs are on the Y-disk, so there is nothing else to do to
have them available.?

Which of the functions return error 43? I would be glad to check into them.
