Setting the Attributes of the PC/3270 WIN-OS/2 Object
Now we have to set the attributes of this new object so that it will start
PC/3270 as a Windows application.
The following are common to all types of connections. The LAN 802.2 and
3174 Peer connections will require some additional steps covered at the
end (they need some unique device drivers).
You are now on the Program Settings for this Object. This is where you need
to set up all of the various attributes that will go with this object. You
move around by selecting the proper tab on this notebook.
Select the Program tab (should be selected):
- Enter a Path and File name of: C:\PC3270W\PCS3270.EXE
- Enter a Working Directory of: C:\PC3270W
The Icon should now show the PC/3270 Icon. If not then the path and/or file
name is entered incorrectly.
2.
Enter
a Title of: PC/3270 for WIN-OS/2 (or something else you want)
3.
Select
Minimize window to desktop for the Minimized Button Behavior (this will
minimize the PC/3270 Icon on the desktop instead of the minimized window
viewer folder).
4.
Select Separate session (this will allow PC/3270
to load required Terminate-Stay-Resident (TSR) programs even if it is not
the first WIN-OS/2 session started).
Select WIN-OS/2 settings.
5.
From the WIN-OS/2 settings screen:
Select
and set COM_HOLD=ON (for async only).
Select and set DOS_HIGH=ON (allows DOS to be
loaded above 640KB).
Select and set DOS_UMB=ON (allows TSR programs
to be loaded in upper memory blocks).
Select and set IDLE_SENSITIVITY=100 (disables
the idle detection so PC/3270 will get the maximum amount of processor time).
Select and set KBD_ALTHOME_BYPASS=ON (so PA2
will work).
Select and set DOS_SHELL to:
C:\OS2\MDOS\COMMAND.COM C:\OS2\MDOS /P /C C:\PC3270W\PC3270WO.BAT
Note: This is the batch file we created in the previous step.
Select SAVE when complete.
6.
Close the Settings window:
Select
the Title Bar Icon (small PC/3270 Icon in upper left hand corner of Settings
screen), or press F10.
Select Close to close and save these object
changes.
