IBM i Support for 5250 Advanced Function Display Data Stream (AFDDS)

Enhance 5250 Display Data Stream to support AFDDS PCs attached via Access Client Solutions (see related RFEs). This would enable IBM i programmers to upgrade their "green screen" sign-on and application displays with fonts, color logos and overlays as they can do today on AFPDS printers, as well as PC controls such as list boxes, combo boxes, push buttons, radio buttons, etc.


Use Case:

Display company logo and background on Qinter sign-on display. (See the attached document for an example)
IBM i programmers could develop GUI applications which:
• Display subfiles as list boxes, real pushbuttons and drop-down lists.
• Display company dashboard with list boxes and graphs.
• Display employee photos with personnel applications.
• Display property photos with real estate applications.

    IBM i currently has no plans to enhance the 5250 datastream, so the request is being closed.
