Potential Graphic Problems

You may encounter the following two graphic problems:

  • HostExplorer displays the graph, but not in graphics mode. For example, it uses alphanumeric characters to approximate the picture.

This usually indicates that there is a logmode problem. The mainframe application software thinks that the device cannot display graphics so it sends alphanumeric data instead. Make sure the logmode is queriable (PSERVIC='028...').
  • When displaying CA-TELLAGRAF, CA-DISSPLA, or Boeing EIS graphics, the screen seems smaller.

This can occur when the CA-TELLAGRAF, CA-DISSPLA, and Boeing EIS graphics packages make internal adjustments when using a TN3270 screen size other than Mod 3 (32 x 80). Change the logmode to Mod 3 and retry, or set the value of the Resolution option to TERMINAL instead of HIGH in CONFIG.
