Using SNA IMF Pass Thru

Screen sizes 

This section explains the differences between IMF/3000 screen sizes and
SNA IMF screen sizes. 

IMF/3000 

Screen size is specified either by the IBM host or in the configuration
file on the HP 3000.  After Pass Thru is started, the screen size is
assumed to be whatever was configured in the IMF/3000 configuration file.

SNA IMF 

Like IMF/3000, SNA IMF allows the host to set the screen size.  However,
screen size cannot be specified on the HP 3000.  As part of SNA protocol,
the IBM host sends a BIND command at the beginning of a session.  The
BIND command, which is transparent to the user, establishes the screen
size for SNA IMF. A screen must be 480, 1920, or 3440 characters;
otherwise, SNA IMF rejects it.
