Once you determine the screen size, here's how you build the 3270 SBA:

         LH    R14,ROW                  get row number
         BCTR  R14,0                    make it origin 0
         MH    R14,WIDTH                multiply by screen width
         AH    R14,COL                  add column number
         BCTR  R14,0                    make it origin 0
         SRDL  R14,6                    get low order six bits into R15
         SRL   R15,32-6                 shift to low end of register
*  R1 -> SBA output area, starting with X'11'
         STC   R14,1(,R1)               set down hi order 6 bits
         STC   R15,2(,R1)               set down lo order 6 bits
         TR    1(2,R1),TR3270           translate to valid 3270 chars
         ...
