Re: Issue with new IBM Access Client Solutions Emulator (still!)

Chuck,
While that is a possible solution, I am capturing a string of data received
via a TCP Socket from a 3rd party and prefer to keep the raw data
(translated to EBCDIC) as received.
The old IBM Client Access Emulator has no problem showing this as a non
dispalyable character with the some data can not be displayed on the
bottom of the screen. I would *think* that the new emulator should at the
very least have the same ability and not blow up.

On prior version, I had a issue when attempting to display data where
the field in question had an X'03' (ETX) as the last position.
I was first informed that this had been fixed in a prior PTF, but I
had the version after that fix.
The new version still has this problem:

When I used the old Client Access Emulator, it works just fine.

I am not authorized to report problems to IBM.

Given there is no possibility to present the non-alphanumeric code point
0x03 as a visible glyph on the report display [file QDQUWSRUN], why not
just correct the apparent problem with the underlying data, by ensuring
that the character data field contains only /characters/ instead of control
codes. Or if the data is legitimate, in a BINARY [or DDS Hex] data-type
field, then present the data for that field using an effective HEX()
scalar, or replace/translate each of the non-displayable characters as
another that is printable/displayable, e.g. presented as a blank. That
effect can be encapsulated in a logical file/view without changing the
physical data; so instead of changing emulators, just refer to the logical
file [every time any displayed/printed reporting is directed against the
file].
