RE: Viewing spoolfiles via 5250 emulator to Port 2300 of the HMC IP - display is only 80 wide

Reading and reviewing both links again.

If using a LAN console, the change can be made from 80 to 132.
If using an HMC console, then no, the restriction applies.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/hmc-5250-console-display-size

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-change-lan-console-utilize-27x132-device


Is this correct?

Also the link is a little dated. The newest version of IBM mentioned is 7.1. Perhaps with newer versions of IBM i, HMC, etc it's time for a change?

I also opened a case with IBM support, below is the response.



Both LAN and HMC console sessions do not support the full display of 132. Console sessions are limited to only being able to display the smaller 24x80 even though the emulator screen size is set to 27x132.



https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/hmc-5250-console-display-size



It is not suggested to work through spooled files via console sessions for this reason.

IBM really needs to rewrite those links for this decade. And must fully document the tricks to get by console takeover.

DSPSYSVAL QCONSOLE - DSP01



DSPDEVD DSP01



Device type . . . . . . . . . . . : 3179



Device model . . . . . . . . . . . : 2







All my other device descriptions are 3477 FC







From what I found, 3179 model 2 only supports 24x80.







So, can I change QCONSONLE to a different device which type supports 27x132



I found this link.

You're confused between your setting in iACS and the setting on the display device itself on the system console.



DSPSYSVAL QCONSOLE



DSPDEVD (value from above)



Does the following support more than 80 characters?



Device type . . . . . . . . . . . : 3179



Device model . . . . . . . . . . . : 2







Normally if you change your device setting and reconnect it will trash the existing session and rebuild it. However I am reading there are some things which can stop that from working. Console take over can be one of them. I'll never disable that though. When I have the time I'll figure out how to get that to work.

When working with a 5250 emulator using port 2300 of the HMC IC,



Spoofiles only display 80 wide, even though the config shows 27x132.



Why is this?



Can this be fixed?



Very cumbersome to use, must constantly F19=Left F20=Right to view the entire spoolfile.







Thank You
