Re: [Fwd: ARCAD's New 5250 Emulator for WDSc 7.0AvailableNow]

I also tried it, and found that it has problems with the DBU key entry screen, which I believe is built using DSM. The ARCAD emulator doesn't recognize the entry fields correctly in some cases. It appears to be related to the number of key fields, since it works for some files. This is a killer for me, as I use DBU a lot.

The lack of type-ahead is also a serious negative for me, although not a killer. I haven't noticed any F-key problems, although I have to say I've only played with it, since the DBU problem keeps me from using it for real work.

One last follow up on this for Arcad's benefit. I tried the plugin in both 6.0 and 7.0 and the issue I described about fast views only happens in 6.0. The other F6 issue is constant in both.

Thanks

Hmm. I am not having any of these issues. The only things I found was
that type ahead does not work - a 5250 feature, URL hotspots do not work
- a client access feature, and if I press F1, the WDSc help window will
display as well as my applications help screen. Other than that, it is a
nice product.

Justin,

I too have found issues with F keys ceasing to function after a short while. I opened a session and found F6 stopped working until I re-opened the session, this was need for STRDBG breakpoint addition. Hopefully ARCAD is looking at our mailing list.

Also if you have a window (ie Remote Systems) set for fast view and open a session window the fast view wont stay open.

Thanks
Don

I have been using this new emulator for awhile and have identified a
couple of issues.

-The F5 key no longer works to refresh my Remote Systems view.
-Frequently, when I click on a Fast View it will flash up and
immediately disappear. I can click it again and it will function
properly.
