Re: Display HEX Char on Display in CA

Thanks to everyone's input. We took the tn5250j approach. It worked as
advertised. I did have problems getting the most current version to
install on my Windows7. Getting auth issues. DL's the .62 version and just
ran the .jar and we got what was needed.

Thanks Again to the Great Minds on this list!

Hi Jeff,

If you use TN5250J (http://tn5250j.sourceforge.net/), a free 5250
emulator, the display attributes mode is available by right-clicking on the
screen (or pressing alt-D), choose Settings, and in the Show Attributes
section, select Hex. Each attribute byte is shown as a hex code in a tiny
font.

I remember something similar being available in iAccess for Windows, but I
don't see it in the version I have (5.8).

Chuck,
Tried that.
Mapped a key to TEST REQ (the only "TEST" function defined.
Tried it on a 5250 session, receive error Function key not allowed.

Back in the Good Old Days of Twinax displays, there was a key you

could press to tell the display to to show you all the hidden hex

The 5250 device, display verification\capabilities /test/ feature?

That function doesn't seem to be available in CA.
The emulator feature, defined as a key, for a key-function defined by
possibly one of [Test] [TestRq] [TestReq] [TestRqs] [TstRqs] [TstReq] ?


Reading on Google I found reference to a macro you could run. Course

the full test of the doc requires a subscription...

A link; maybe some title and supporting text that was included? A

reviewer might be able to learn at least as much, to get an idea; or
perhaps to offer an alternative [source for the same or equivalent].


Anyone know how to do this and willing to share?
I am unsure what is being asked, but I offer my reply in i.c.as400
that
may provide leads to something helpful, even if not directly helpful:
