- TITLE: RUNNING PC3270 IN XGA MODE BACKGROUND COLORS CANNOT
- BE CHANGED.
-
- DESCRIPTION OF SYMPTOMS:
-
- If the enhanced front of screen is used(this is the
- default... its set on the Display options panel of the
- Advanced Configuration Options portion of the
- configuration) then there will be no background color on
- the RULE line.... Enhanced mode causes the PC/3270 to use
- something called MFI functions of the XGA.2 card, and one
- of these functions needs attribute byte that is associated
- with the RULE background color.
-
- SUMMARY OF RESOLUTION:
-
- Run the PC/3270 using vga functions by editing the .bat
- file in the PCDOS directory or set the Enhanced Front of
- Screen to off.
-
- DETAILS OF RESOLUTION:
-
- 1. Change to the c:\PC3270\PCSDOS directory. 2. Edit the
- .bat file within the directory. There will only be one.
- 3. Change the following line:
-
- C:\PC3270\PCSDOS 2 a=24*80 b=24*80 -gs -f -ef %CMGR.QUIET%
-
- TO
-
- C:\PC3270\PCSDOS 2 a=24*80 b=24*80 -gs -f -ef -vga
- %CMGR.QUIET%
-
- NOTE: The other solution is to set the Front of Screen to
- off in the Display options panel of the Advanced
- Configuration Options portion of the PC3270 set up.
