Last change: 2010 May 30 - - - VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Ralf Schandl - - *zOS* *z/OS* *OS390* *os390* *MVS* -This file contains the particulars for the z/OS UNIX version of Vim. - -1.

ASCII/EBCDIC dependent scripts *OS390-has-ebcdic* *zOS-has-ebcdic* - -For the internal script language the feature "ebcdic" was added. With this -you can fix ASCII dependent scripts like this: -> - if has("ebcdic") - let space = 64 - else - let space = 32 - endif -< - -============================================================================== -2. PuTTY and Colors *OS390-PuTTY* *zOS-PuTTY* - -If you see problems with syntax highlighting or screen corruptions when you -connect to z/OS using Putty, try the following: - -- Configure Putty as "vt220" terminal (Connection->Data) -- Add the following 3 lines to your vimrc: - -> - set t_AB=[4%p1%dm - set t_AF=[3%p1%dm - set t_CO=8 -< - -Note: is one character use <C-V><Esc> to enter it. - -============================================================================== -3. Motif Problems *OS390-Motif* *zOS-Motif* - -Note: Seen with Vim 6.*, never tested since. - -It seems that in porting the Motif library to z/OS, a translation from EBCDIC -to ASCII for the accelerator characters of the pull-down menus was forgotten. -Even after I tried to hand convert the menus, the accelerator keys continued -to only work for the opening of menus (like <Alt-F> to open the file menu). -They still do not work for the menu items themselves (like <Alt-F>O to open -the file browser). - -There is no solution for this yet. - -============================================================================== -4. Bugs *OS390-bugs* *zOS-Bugs* - -- Vim will consistently hang when a large amount of text is selected in - visual block mode. This may be due to a memory corruption issue. Note that - this occurs in both the terminal and gui versions. - -============================================================================== -5. Limitations *OS390-limitations* *zOS-limitations* - -- No binary search in tag files. - The program /bin/sort sorts by ASCII value by default. This program is - normally used by ctags to sort the tags. There might be a version of - ctags out there, that does it right, but we can't be sure. So this seems to - be a permanent restriction. - -- The cscope interface (|cscope|) doesn't work for the version of cscope - that we use on our mainframe. We have a copy of version 15.0b12, and it - causes Vim to hang when using the "cscope add" command. I'm guessing that - the binary format of the cscope database isn't quite what Vim is expecting. - I've tried to port the current version of cscope (15.3) to z/OS, without - much success. If anyone is interested in trying, drop me a line if you - make any progress. - -- No glib/gtk support. I have not been able to successfully compile glib on - z/OS UNIX. This means you'll have to live without the pretty gtk toolbar. - -Disabled at compile time: - - Multibyte support (|multibyte|) - - Right-to-left mode (|rileft|) - - Farsi key map (|Farsi|) - - Arabic language support (|Arabic|) - - Spell checking (|spell|) - -Never tested: - - Perl interface (|perl|) - - Encryption support (|encryption|) - - Langmap (|'langmap'|) - - Python support (|Python|) - - Right-to-left mode (|'rightleft'|) - - SNiFF+ interface (|sniff|) - - TCL interface (|tcl|) - ... - -============================================================================== -6.
