Error description
On one of the customer 3270 appliation screens that contained a BLINKING TEXT FIELD is not behaving properly. The blinking field behalves well only if flipping the 3270 screen from Left to Right, but in the case where the screen is flipped Right to Left then the whole line which contained this field blinks. Only the field should blink. When flipping back to Left to Right then only the fiels that is suppose to blink blinks.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: Host On-Demand BIDI users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When Right to Left (RTL) is selected * * on the screen, the entire line blinks * * rather than just the field that * * should blink. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** For each blink of each blinking field, "Update PS" event is generated. It contains information about boundaries of blinking text, and the text is taken from TextPlane. However these boundaries are calculated incorrectly in RTL screen. As result, either nothing blinks or the entire line blinks.
Problem conclusion
Coordinate calculation fixed in (RTL) Right to Left screen columns are counted from right to left. Fix scheduled for HOD 11.0.9 Refresh Pack
Temporary fix
