IC71220: PCOM: HOW CAN YOU USE A 62X160 SCREEN SIZE?

Personal Communications 6.0.2
Personal Communications 5.9.8

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer was not able to use session with a screen size of
  62x160 until he added TerminalTypeString=IBM-DYNAMIC under the
  [Telnet3270]  stanza in the .ws-file.- They don't have to do so
  if they select  24x80, 32x80, 43x80 or 27x132. He would like to
  know:
  If this parameter is required to allow screen sizes above
  27x132, why doesn't PCOM insert this parameter automatically?
  

Local fix

• Add TerminalTypeString=IBM-DYNAMIC under the [Telnet3270]
  stanza in the .ws-file.

  PCOMM used to send default screen size as the device type for
  screen sizes greater than 27x132 unless explicitly specified
  by the WS keyword.

  DEVICE TYPE as IBM_DYNAMIC for screen sizes greater than
  27x132.
