RE: 5250 Start Field Funny Stuff

SEU is always user-defined.  I don't have my data stream encyclopedia any
more but that was never the picture of clarity.

-|Any of you 5250-gurus out there (still any alive?):
-|I get a data stream (from SEU) that contains (among other stuff)
-|these hexadecimal byte values:
-|
-|11 14  06       1D 40 00 81 00 24 00 99        11 16 01
-|
-|The 11s are SBAs (set buffer address) to 14,6 and 16,1,
-|the 1D in the middle is a SF (start field), which normally should
-|be followed by a 2-byte length and a 2-byte field format word.
-|What I actually got (reproducible) does not make any sense
-|(length of x'4000' ?)
-|
-|What's going on here?
-|
-|Leif
