Hello,

I need to increase the size of an output field on a screen that is already full. Was wondering if I could mouseover the field so that it would show the non-truncated form that is currently shown.

That's not possible with 5250. The client would need to be aware of the additional text, and the OS would need to provide the additional text somehow to the client. To accomplish this the screen buffer would no longer be fixed to what fits on a screen.

Is this kind of functionality available?

No. Hasn't been, will probably never happen because IBM wants us to not use Green Screen anymore. :-)

Looking for a cheap solution :-)

Redesign your screen so it can accompany the bigger field. Think about using 27×132, if not done already. That's the cheapest (in terms of effort) solution you can get.

:wq! PoC
