Disable the OMEGAMON Use of Extended Attributes

OMEGAMON can assume that your EPI virtual terminal is capable of handling extended color and attributes even though EPI terminals identify themselves as IBM 3278 type terminals that do not have extended attribute capability. This will cause the EPI to generate an error when OMEGAMON sends its first screen to an EPI virtual terminal.

To prevent this and to allow OMEGAMON to be used on an EPI virtual terminal, you must ensure that OMEGAMON disables the use of extended attributes before displaying the first screen.

To disable the OMEGAMON use of extended attributes

1. Ensure that one of the following OMEGAMON commands is issued before the first screen is displayed by OMEGAMON:

   .SCC DISPLAY=BASIC
   

   or

   .CLRXOF
   

   You can now use OMEGAMON on an EPI virtual terminal.

The release of OMEGAMON you are running will determine which of these two commands should be used.
