Re: Weirdness with * character

Shouldn't be. This is a tiny partition that we only use for training. It has had the same set up since first created.

One of the people who experienced the problem had a 5250 session running and didn't sign off/on or change anything between runs and still experieinced the problem.

This sounds like maybe a CCSID issue? Are CCSID's changing where '*' is in
a different code point? The letters are almost always invariant.

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.
