Hi Michael,
The Custom Rows setting is not normally used when configuring a session for Model 5(27x132). The easiest way is to do in the TN3270 Connection settings, by selecting Session-Configure-Properties button-Device tab, for example:
Note, when the Override 3270 Emulation Model Type checkbox is enabled(default), the TN3270 setting will also be used as the Screen Model Type in the Session-Configure-3270 Emulation dialog. This setting is used when replying to host system queries for device capabilities at run time.
Also, it is sometimes normal for the host operating system and application to switch back and forth from Model 2(24x80) and Model 5(27x132). For example, on TSO in ISPF this can be effected by the ISPF settings, try selecting 3. Max for the Screen Format under Terminal Characteristics.
Does this help?
Thanks,
Mike

Subject: 3270 emulator 7.1: Problems with extended view 27X132
Hello all,
We are having an issue with 27X132 extended view not working. It will work usually the first time after a user sets themselves up for it, but then it will revert to 24X80 view.
I have tried to track down the problem. I see something that consistently looks incorrect when the 27X132 view reverts to 24X80. When I right click on the BlueZone icon and "edit with notepad", I see the following:
[Session]
LU Name="LU002"
TN3270 Delay=0x00000064
Type Ahead=1
Numeric Lock=0
AssignLu=0
Keep LU on Session Loss=0
Custom Rows=54
Custom Columns=132
Custom Default Rows=24
Custom Default Columns=80
Alternate Usable Area=0
As you can see, Custom Rows=54
Any idea why this keeps changing to 54? Is this the problem and what can be done about it?
