RE: Error CPF4169 - Device file does not contain an entry for screensize

Thank you all for your emails.
I was able to resolve this problem by bringing up an AS/400 session and 
clicking the ' communication ' icon on the menu bar, then the ' configure ' 
from the drop window that appeared.
The ' size ' value, in the ' Configure PC5250 ' screen was set to 24 x 80, 
changed it to 27 x 132 and all is fine now.

Thanks again,   Rene

Hi,

My first thought in reading this is that the two users that are having problems 
are emulating a device that does not support a 27 x 132 screen size.  A number 
of the common emulation devices only support 24 x 80.  This should be a setting 
in the emulation package on the PC.  I know the two different emulation 
packages used by my company defualt to a 24x80 screen size.  We just have to 
change the screen size setting in the 5250 emulation package to 27x132 for the 
users that require it.

John
