  • 1.  How to get back to the standard output terminal

    Posted Thu August 26, 2021 08:48 AM

    When running the C program below [1], I can see an output window that says:

     Hello, World!
     Press ENTER to end terminal session.

    Pressing enter brings me back to the 5250 session.

    How can I get this terminal back after I have exited it?

    One way is to call the C program again. When doing so I can see the result of the previous invocation. However, I just want to popup the terminal with the existing contents.

    Cheers, Wim

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void)                
    {                              
    printf("%s", "Hello, World!");    
    }

    How about creating another C program as follows: 

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void)
    {
    printf("\n");
    }

    Running this will just give the same screen as before with an additional "Press ENTER..." line.

    That is very clever! Thanks, Keith.

    Of course, I would still like to know how to popup that "console" without putting anything new on it.

    Cheers,

    What about STRDBG and press "terminal" (is it F15) ?
