Ha, I knew someone would ask that! It is because non-standard logmodes are incompatible with our VTAM session management system, that allows for multiple sessions within one terminal.
But why not just open more terminals? It is because a side effect of the session management is that without it, every time you exit TSO or IMS or CICS, it logs you completely out of the terminal session. With the session management it just takes you back to the session menu. So, the reason I don't use GOFF is because then I'd have to login more often. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Assembler List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Farley, Peter Sent: Friday, November 18, 2022 11:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ASMA500 message question Why aren't you using a custom size like 50x160? I use that every day, in both PCOMM and Vista TN3270. Mod-5 size is far too small in my opinion -- only 27x132. I hated the few times I tried to use x3270/wx3270 - totally unintuitive.

LIST(121) listings are expanded to 133, which is fine. But GOFF listings are expanded to LRECL=145, which no longer fits in a mod 5 terminal.
