IBM Network Station 5250/3270 Terminal Emulation Information

• In the optional parameters field in a 5250 session, the -DISPLAY_NAME USE_HOST_NAME and -DISPLAY_NAME USE_HOST_NAME+n are supported in 5250 Rel 3 PTF3, which is available now.
• The 'Host Name' of the Network Station (read from the DNS), is used to create 5250 display names on the AS/400, and 3270 LU names on the S/390.
• Lower case characters are converted to upper case by the emulator.
