With z/OS 1.5, Rexx now has the "address TSO" environment, which starts a captive TSO TMP address space (with no display). There's no reason one can't have such a captive TMP address space for each linemode shell session. Now, suppose support were added to run 3270 OMVS directly from a tn3270 connection, with no TSO involvement. Then a given user could run several 3270 OMVS sessions, since the TSO one-session-per-user limit would not apply. Then suppose some combination of "address TSO" and "address SYSCALL pt3270" (the latter now used to support OEDIT and OBROWSE) allowed the user to bring up a captive TMP address space (as above), but _with_ the 3270 display active. The best of both worlds? I'm sure Walt Farrell will say it can't be done; Jim Mulder would be more sympathetic. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
