Now interestingly enough, I get the error when using IBM's Client
Access; however if I use Powerterm, I don't get the error. The device
description is the same in either case.

The Query5250 Response allows the controller to specify the maximum
number of input fields allowed. Normally this is set to X'100' (i.e.,
256). I guess it's possible for an emulator to increase this value
but I haven't tried that. Perhaps Powerterm is doing this which might
explain your observed behaviour? 256 was certainly the last published
maximum but perhaps it's been increased (540 shows 256 and 610 is off
the air at present).

I don't have 256 fields on the screen....Although, there's lots of
hidden and program fields. Are those counted toward the limit?

Are we talking 256 fields total, or is this a per record format limit?

Ok a quick count of the fields in the o-specs of the compiler listing
gives my a total number of fields in teh display file of less than
200.
