Re: 24x80 size issue

How was the upgrade done?  Was the actual 600 physically upgraded to a 
170?  Or did you copy a few libraries, etc over to a new 170?

Quick question:

Had a model 600 - upgraded to a 170, all sysvals the same, OS/400 stayed 
at 5r1.

I have some thin clients that worked fine pre-upgrade, but now, post 
upgrade, I get an error concerning the "clients" ability to show 
fields/data outside of the 24x80 workspace.  Extended display error.  The 
third party vendor tells me they haven't seen this in  a LONG time (not 
since some VERY old terminals were in use) and that all newer terminals 
should be able to handle the way things are NOW. 

Our existing dumb terminals (3477FGs over twin-ax) handle everything just 
fine, as do our CE sessions.  I'm stumped b/c the thin clients DID work 
just fine before the change in AS400s and I am too much of a novice to be 
able to tell what is happening.  I have manually created devices to see if 
that is the problem - no.  Autocreate - no. 


Secondly . . and I'm certain this is tied into the same issue, deals with 
printing.  I setup a session on the thin clients for printing, manually 
create the printer (with model type, etc) and everything was working 
great.  We changed systems and now I get what looks like about four lines 
of ascii column and row "headers" boxing in the correct printout.  The 
thin client setup did not change . .and I am stumped.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
