I think the scheme Steve Greenfield describes for parsing 3270 input is going to have problems with fields containing nulls. A keyboard operator can fill all or part of a field with nulls using the Erase EOF key or the Delete key. If I remember correctly, only the non-null characters in a field are sent to the host in response to a Read Buffer command. If a field contains nulls the string sent to the host will have fewer characters than the field length. I think Steve Greenfields algorithm will treat the next SBA character, its address, and some of the data from the next field as part of the field in this case.
