Problem:

Ericom's PowerTerm is a terminal emulator that is shipped with the Micro Focus Net Express product. PowerTerm is used for UNIX and LINUX environments. When executing sde or the Micro Focus license administrator, the windows are not formatted correctly or the line drawing characters are not correctly displayed. As with most emulators you have to configure it so that the line drawing, colors, function keys and overall window display are acceptable.

Resolution:

To configure PowerTerm:

1. Click Terminal > Setup.
2. On the Emulation tab, click SCO ANSI.
3. On the Display tab, select 80 Columns and 25 Lines Per Screen.

On the UNIX/LINUX side:

export TERM=ansi

If the environment variables COLUMNS and/or LINES are set, be sure they are set to:

export COLUMNS=80
export LINES=25
