Terminal types

File-AID/RDX only supports the standard IBM 327x terminal types supported by IBM ISPF, which have dimensions such as 24x80 (24 lines by 80 columns), 32x80, 43x80, and 27x132.

If you are using 3270 emulator software on a PC, you may have the dimensions set to some other proportions. Not all possible dimension settings will work with File-AID/RDX. That is, if you edit your PC settings file and change the dimensions to some nonstandard setting, File-AID/RDX screen displays may fail.

If you use a nonstandard setting and you are not concerned about it causing occasional screen display failures, we recommend to select choice "3. Max" under ISPF Option 0 - Settings, Terminal Characteristics - Screen format. That is an IBM ISPF setting, not a File-AID/RDX setting. It controls IBM ISPF screen handling. Choosing Screen format 3.Max tends to give best results for working with the broadest range of screen dimensions. Note again that File-AID/RDX only supports the standard dimensions of standard IBM terminal types.
