ENTFLDATR is a 5250 GUI extension.  The Mochasoft emulator (like most emulators)
does not support any of the 5250 GUI extensions (on the grounds that nobody uses
them -- but if the emulators supported them then more programmers would use
them).

I would expect that to work in most emulators but then Mochasoft is only $25.
What do you expect for almost nothing?

Yes and sort of.
