Still getting the Same error. Terminal is running and is able to login as well as display menu but when accessing menu items aforesaid error shows up. Tried 5250 then 3270. Tried resizing the screen too. None work

could you give a screenshot of the error? and the steps you performed


The terminal can be launched successfully. although everytime i try to access a menu item, error shows up instead

This is a known issue in regards to terminal screen sizing, cmiiw.
Unfortunately there isn’t a reliable fix for this issue.
If you’re press for time, you can use OCR based activity instead.

Also, this topic should be move to the Advance Section.

Hi @mayuyu,

Which Terminal Emulator app are you using and how do you connect? IBM EHLL or another provider?

Thank you.

(it’s indeed related to screensize, it has implication on the backend, as seen here https://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/cpf4169-error-appeared-during-open-for-screen-file/ , trying to understand the context in order to see if I can figure out a workaround. I’m afraid it’s especially problematic if you use “UiPath Internal” in Terminal Session).

@mayuyu,

If nothing else, you could just try to automate the Terminal Emulator App itself as explained in the pdf here:
