The Rocket port of clear fails as does tput clear under TN3270 OMVS yet the IBM provided versions in /bin do work.

Am I missing something with the Rocket versions?

Hi Lionel, 

Which version of ncurses are you using? 

This is what I found:  

t ISO8859-1   T=on  -rwxrwxr-x   1 ROCKET   ZOWEDEV     6190 Jan 27 13:46 ncurses6-config  

Lionel,

It doesn't seem to be Open AppDev version of ncurses. I tried a few versions (6.1-6.4)  and they work fine on my system. Could you check your version using clear -V command?

HI,

as I had mentioned in some previous private discussion: 

The ncurses data for a "dumb" terminal do not have an attribute for 'clear', and the default for attributes is an empty string. Adding a '\\f' as a attribute fixes the problem.

Well, if one isable to decompile and recompile, I needed to do this on a linux machine.
