Horizontal and vertical line in MVS/SIS/CICS/ARS


Issue

MVS/SIS/CICS/ARS is displaying a vertical and horizontal line where I click and I'm receiving an X-WRONG INPUT error when typing.

Resolution

The Cursor Type option is set to crosshair, causing a vertical and horizontal to display where you click.

  1. Select the Tools menu in Mocha TN3270.
  2. Select Options… from the menu.
  3. Select the Terminal tab.
  4. Under Cursor -> Type, change crosshair to normal.
  5. Select the Apply button.

Use the TAB key to navigate through the available fields in MVS/SIS/CICS/ARS. After placing the cursor in a valid position, you will be able to type again.
