- 3153 does not display box characters
- 3153 does not display window borders correctly
- 3153 does displays letters, instead of window border
Background Information:
This is a common problem with ASCII terminals (3151, 3153, WYSE, DEC).
HOST CONTROL:
- The host operating system and application program can control what character set, or code page is displayed when configured for IBM 3151, DEC VT200, WYSE 50, or WYSE 60. Each emulation has its own method of displaying character sets and code pages.
- IBM 3151 Emulation:
- Select Character Set G0/G1 Command
- DEC VT200 Emulation:
- Character Set Selection Command
- WYSE 60 Emulation:
- Select Primary, Secondary Character Set Command
3153 SETUP PARAMETERS:
- The 3153 setup parameters also affect character set and code page displayed:
- Character Set: National or Multinational
- Code Page: CP437, CP850, ISO-1 (ISO 8859)
- EIA Data Format: 7-bit or 8-bit mode
Recommended Solution:
- When configured for IBM 3151 emulation, recommend to modify 3153 setup parameters (in 3153 setup menus):
- Set 'Character Set'='Multinational' and try the following various code pages:
- - 'Code Page'='CP437'
- - 'Code Page'='CP850'
- - 'Code Page'='ISO-1'
- If the above recommendation solution, does not correct it, recommend to contact the systems administrator, application programmer.
