Browsing AFP Reports on 3270 Non-Graphics Terminals

CA View has a special browser for viewing AFP reports on 3270 non-graphics terminals.

If you archive AFP reports through a SARFSS functional subsystem task, you have the following viewing options:

• View the report WYSIWYG on CA Output Management Document Viewer (formerly known as Unicenter Output Management Document Viewer)
• View the text strings in the report on a non-graphics 3270 terminal, or a 3270 emulation session on a PC (this is the 3270/AFP browser)

The 3270/AFP browser operates like the regular 3270 CA View browser.

The browser also does the following:

1. Retrieves the selected overlays.
2. Formats the PTX structure fields from the overlays and the report.
3. Merges the overlays and the report page.
4. Presents the text strings at the proper location of a logical page.

The browser treats the 160-column by 99-line screen space as a physical page. Similar to the regular 3270 browser, different terminal models display different numbers of lines per screen. If a terminal screen does not show an entire logical page, you might have to scroll down to view it.
