Resolution

When EZYEDIT is invoked using z/OSMF session, a user may experience the following potential problems :

1. A very slow response time is observed, since z/OSMF screen size specifications for rows and columns are very large.
   
   To avoid slow response, specify smaller row and column sizes on the Classic z/OSMF ISPF interface entry page.
   
   Using the standard 3270 Model sizes (24x80, 32x80, 43x80) for row and column settings will decrease overhead needed to communicate screen data to z/OSMF.
   
   
2. Rows wrap to next line, leaving some content truncated. This is primarily because the z/OSMF browser window is using a font that is too large.
   
   To avoid the wrapping of EZYEDIT display rows, use the browser Zoom settings to set a smaller font or specify a smaller column size on the Classic z/OSMF ISPF interface entry page.

Both problems are likely to occur when z/OSMF has been setup with large default screen sizes.
The z/OSMF documentation suggests that the response time is negatively impacted as larger screen sizes are used.
