Re: [GDDM]

[STEVEN_J_RYAN.NDOA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The screen you are after is a 5292 model 2.  The standard 5292 is just
another green screen.

I don't think Client Access can handle GDDM.  The problem is that the
system automatically sets the device type for you.  If you set it to the
model you want, when you boot up Client Access, it kills off your
configuration and goes back to its standard models (3179/2 for 24x80 and
3477/FC for 27/132 screens on my system).

The client access we have at the moment is not particularly functional.
IPDS printers is another 'non standard' function that it doesn't seem to
cater for.  I suppose that's the price we are expected to accept for an
'easy to use' function.

You need to have the right device type. (5252 ??) I cant remember exactly
what
it is but the manual can tell you.  Its the old IBM colour screens
(sometimes
people think the AS400 was only green screen, this is not so) anyway the
IBM
colour monitors were horribly expensive, we had one I think.  Some of the
OLD
emulators supported the colour monitor and so GDDM worked on them but u had
to
configure them a bit different.  I have for some time tried to find an
emulator in Client Access and others that supports the old colour monitors
but
without success as we have a graphing application done in GDDM that no one
can
use.  The users switched to downloadind the data into MS Excel. Good luck.
