Re: GUI mode

Sameer,

The IBM "3270 Information Display System, Datastream Programmer's
Reference", GA23-0059-07, available from IBM, both electronically and in
hardcopy, covers all of the relevant 3270 stuff.  Go to:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/library

and search on the document number.

Graphics on 3270 are handled by defining character sets with symbols
matching a character cell sized piece of your image (see the "Load
Programmed Symbols" outbound structured field).  Once defined, you select
the character set and symbols to display with the "Character Set" extended
attribute, or with the "Graphics Escape" (GE) order.

In addition, you need to properly respond to the "Character Set" "Read
Partition Query", and a few other things (amongst other things, review the
"Graphic Color" and "Graphic Symbol Sets" RPQRs).

There are also the "Object *" Inbound/Outbound SFs, which are supported on
some devices, but I don't know many details, so you'll have to do some
research.
