John and Ed, This is the text from the last page from my VTAM Miscellaneous presentation last given 10 years ago. I haven't heard of any other uses for PC facilities to "enhance the VTAM experience". No doubt some probably significant customer asked for these functions, the functions were provided and - just maybe - one or two of their younger system programmers bothered to set them up and use them - but I could be wrong.
>From my notes, the "message" function appears to have arrived with VTAM V3R4 and the "command" function with VTAM V4R3. --- Workstation Support for VTAM ============================ VTAM Message Manual Online -------------------------- Lookup of VTAM messages on a PS/2 by entering a keyword by cursor positioning in a host session for example, a NetView session VTAM Messages and Codes manual types messages sense codes return and feedback codes etc. Supported by EASEL OS/2 EE Runtime from V 1.1 VTAM Command Prompts -------------------- Operands selected on a PS/2 by "clicking" on prompts by entering names in boxes Supported by Command Tree/2 --- Chris Mason ----- Original Message ----- From: "McKown, John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 09 January, 2006 3:10 PM Subject: Re: Manuals on modifying VTAM logon screen? > > -----Original Message----- > > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Finnell > > Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 10:22 AM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: Re: Manuals on modifying VTAM logon screen? > > > > > You'd think if we(technofiles) can build methanol powered > > Laptops(Panasonic > > fuel cell) we could come up with a GUI interface to build > > VTAM screens. > > > > Probably could.
