Hi Everyone,

I?m using Host explorer with Tk4- MVS, a distro fresh disk set.

when I select? option 1 RFE, this screen appears:

I can choose from this menu, options 1,2,6,x, and the screesn goest to the corresponding RFE.

Seems like some kind of configuration issue. How can I solve it ?

Funny thing is that with Vista Tn3270 terminal, things go smoothly.

I'm not a heavy user of Host Explorer, But I wanted to transfer files to MVS ( I cant use the reader, they are LRECL 170).

?

Regards

?

Carlos,

Hi,

If you transfer an XMI file (like RFE is), the receiving file has a record length of 80.
The blksize should be a multiple of 80.
Afterwards you can transfer in binary mode file rev370ld.xmi with IND$FILE to your system.
With PDSLOAD you can copy the file to a partitioned load library.
Copy this library (with RFE 3.3 or RPF 3.3) to SYS2.CMDLIB will complete your installation.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi, my problem is Rfe, not Starting properly. I successfully, sent and received files From TCO, using ind$file. Thanks for your suggestion?

My problem is not file transfer, it's Rfe starting with some sort of configuration screen, instead of its menu File transfer, on the other hand is made in plain TSO environment, not in Rfe. Since seems there's no manual for Rfe, I don't know what's going on or if there's some configuration missing?

I'd try changing the graphics configuration of your terminal set up.

If it offers different types of graphics then change it.? You could also turning it off.

Here's how it's supposed to look (if the paste works):


You could also try the latest RFE version if you're not already on it.
Release 49.9 is available from

Thanks for your answer greg,

I'm not familiar with TSO/ISPF, i'm familiar with vm/CMS and plain and simple IBM360 JCM.

My goal was to start learning TSO/ISPF, but I find this frustrating thing, in the first screen of the first menú.

Where can I change the graphical properties ?

I use the same mode 2 or mode 3 3720 terminal emulator setup, for MUSIC/SP and for VM/CMS.

Er, I don't know - I think I used Host Explorer at one job about 20 years ago, but the memories are dim...

Most TN3270 clients have a settings interface where you can change the set up.? Look for terms like the following and change stuff to see if it makes a difference - always remembering the current setting in case it breaks something and you need to put it back the way it was, of course...

LPS
programmable symbols
loadable symbols
cell size
cell format
vector graphics
DOSLINK
OS2LINK
PC-LINK
GDDM
