In article <1993Jan24.184537.7769@athena.mit.edu>, jawetzel@athena.mit.edu (The Rottweiler) says: > >I'm trying to do some Rexx programming on our mainframe and I am >unable to find the proper key to produce a logical not in Rexx. >When I'm in Xedit on the mainframe, I type the following sequence: > >if x^=0 > >In all the other 3270 emulators I've used, the carat symbol >translated to the not character in Xedit but here its not the >case. Using the Xedit hextype command I get the following: The newest release of PMANT and TN3270 use the default translate tables that don't support the ^ sign. In \TCPIP\ETC there is a file named "3278XLT.SAM". This file contains the default translate tables. To use it you must rename or copy it into "3278XLT.TBL". Now you have a tranlate table that does the default and does not help you. You need to mod the table to support the ^ sign. In the top ASCII to EBCDIC table, you should change the line labeled 50 in the far right column. The change is that the next to last byte should be changed from "B0" to "5F". Now you have a not sign on both input and output!
