3270

In the 3270 category, you can set general terminal options.

Note:

These options (except for Detect Chained I/O) are visible but dimmed when you connect to a session. To be able to set these options, you must disconnect from the session and access the Session Profile dialog box again.

3270 Type—Select the 3270 model type to use for the next session.

: 3278—HostExplorer supports basic 3270 features.

: 3279—HostExplorer supports Extended Attributes. By default, this option is selected.

3270 Model—Select the model of mainframe terminal you want HostExplorer to emulate during the next session. If the following models can not provide you with the proper dimensions, select Custom, then enter the proper Row and Column values.

: Model 2—HostExplorer uses 24 lines by 80 columns for the next session. By default, this option is selected.

: Model 3—HostExplorer uses 32 lines by 80 columns for the next session.

: Model 4—HostExplorer uses 43 lines by 80 columns for the next session.

: Model 5—HostExplorer uses 27 lines by 132 columns for the next session.

: Custom—Enables the Rows and the Columns boxes.

: Rows (20 to 72)—Enter the number of rows to use for the screen for the next session. You can enter a number between 20 and 72.

: Columns (80 to 200)—Enter the number of columns to use for the next session. You can enter a number between 80 and 200.

Other Options

Enable Extended Attributes—Determines whether HostExplorer enables Extended Attributes when you have selected 3279 as the 3270 Type. Extended Attributes are the mainframe application codes used to display various colors, highlighting, reverse images, and blinking. HostExplorer enables Extended Attributes by sending "IBM-327-x-y-E" as the IBM terminal type in place of "IBM-327-x-y". This lets your PC fully emulate the mainframe screen. By default, this option is selected.

Note:

If you clear this option, HostExplorer may disable Extended Attributes. Consequently, HostExplorer may also disable some of the replies sent for the Read Partition Query command.

Send OEM Reply to RPQ—Determines whether HostExplorer sends an OEM reply field back to the host in response to receiving a Read Partition Query. If sent, the OEM reply would contain information about the terminal session and features available for the host to use. By default, this option is cleared.

Warning!

Note: Clear this option if you experience difficulty starting GDDM, SAS, or other mainframe application.

Force Alternate Size—Changes the window to the alternate size in the event that the host receives an Erase Write command. By default, this option is cleared.

Note:

Select this option if you want the screen to always open in the alternate (larger) screen size.

Detect Chained I/O—Determines whether HostExplorer enables the automatic detection of chained Write/Read commands. By default, this option is selected.
