Using the IBM i ACS (Access Client Solution) Screen Emulator

[@jakeneko]

My former employer used something similar. It was a hardgoods inventory management by Mincron (Company out of Texas). I always wanted to know more about this. Very interesting.

Any idea how to change LINES PER SCREEN? Seems stuck at 44 but I really need it back at 22 (old eyes) 👀 but no option EDIT/PREF/DISPLAY and the company had shut down ISPF PROFILE

We just upgraded to ACS from Pcomm 6... Yes I know. Didn't bother getting used to ACS but was very used to Pcomm after 15 years. One thing I REALLY miss is the jump shortcut in the menu. Alt+W+(ABCDEFGHI) was very quick. Scratchpad is pointless on windows because that's what notepad is for. If you use DPI scaling you'll want to set the compatibility tab to override>advanced. One thing I haven't figured out yet is the printing. We still waste a lot of paper and screen printing is a way of life.

I agree I use ACS for most of my stuff but I really like Mochasoft for my 'just green screen work'

Hey nick. When dealing with multiple logins (employees), F3 view will not display the employees names/numbers. Is there a history or way to display everyone logged into a resource, or is that only available when enabling screen history? Thanks, I’m stumped so hard

[@NickLitten]

You can use WRKACTJOB and qualify the subsystem to see which users are logged in.. or possibly define each users name as their workstation name within ACS? Then just add the workstation entry to the subsystem they will log into...
