[comp.sys.novell] Problem with LAN 3270 translation tables

vbob@umd5.umd.edu (Bob Shields) (06/24/91)

I am in the process of installing a Novell SNA Gateway to access
our IBM mainframe and have run into a small problem.  The keyboard
definition facility of the 3270 LAN workstation program (WSLAN),
does not allow one to associate a keytop
with either the "[" or "]" keys, saying that they are "not valid
EBCDIC code points".  This may technically be true, however numerous
other emulators have permitted it.  In fact, when viewing a file
containing these characters, they are displayed as a 'u' with an
umlaut and an 'n' with a cedilla (and these ARE valid EBCDIC code
points?)

Does anyone know the internal format of the .NPL files needed to
allow the '[' and ']' to be used?
