That's a new one for me, Jon.

Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

Running a class for Intro to RPG - one exercise has them enter an asterisk to indicate that a multiplication operation should take place.

Sometimes it works and the program sees the *. Other times it sees a blank even though on the 5250 you can see the *.

For one user (using the ACS function built in to RDi) it worked the first few tests and then stopped working - even the original program that we can see from the logs has not been changed and worked correctly originally stopped working later. Two users and one instructor (using ACS) had the same issue. Change the program to expect (say) an M for multiply and it always works.

Some kind of weird ACS bug? or ? This is happening on Win 10 and Macs.

I've never seen anything like it before.
