Operands required for 3290 simulation

The following list is a list of the operands and values you must code on theLU statement to simulate the 3290:
  • LUTYPE=LU2

    LU2 means that the 3290 is an SNA LU Type 2 device.

  • COLOR=ORANGE

    The 3290 accepts and transmits the color attribute even though it is only able to display in orange.

  • UOM=MM

    The unit of measure for screen sizes is millimeters. 1 millimeter is equivalent to one picture element (PEL). For other 3270 devices, size is represented in inches (cells).

  • FLDVALID=NO

    The 3290 does not support field validation.

  • MAXNOPTN=(0, 8, or 16)

    The maximum number of partitions for the logical terminal set is 16. Since 0, 8, and 16 are the only values allowed, a terminal set can have at most one logical terminal with 16 partitions or 2 with 8 partitions each.

  • EXTFUN, HIGHLITE, ALTCSET, PS

    The number of PS sets allowed for the 3290 is six. Specify only single-plane character sets. Only one logical terminal in the set can have PS support. You can select EXTFUN, HIGHLITE, and ALTCSET as with any 3270 device.

  • UASIZE, CCSIZE, and DISPLAY

    Use UASIZE=(w,h) and CCSIZE=(0,0) for variable cell sizes.

    Use CCSIZE=(x,y) for fixed character cell size.

    Use DISPLAY=(r,c).

The following section explains how to determine values for UASIZE, CCSIZE, and DISPLAY.
