Doc, I wouldn't do console emulation - too many extra parts to break IMHO. I would look at building a started task that received the output from calls to one of the WTO/WTL system exits. (I'd pay attention to which exit right now, since Kevin just rewrote a bunch of console support, right?) The started task could also be the "big spongy buffer" that I spoke of in my previous post. And the started task would also be the thing owning the IP socket. It wouldn't need an extra (dummy) console defined. Alternatively, you could perhaps add something to accept lines destined for OPERLOG. That might also give you a method of extracting history data... although I haven't spent much time pondering that approach yet.
Either way I wouldn't mess with 3270 emulation at this point in SNA's life. Let SNA face its ultimate end with some dignity. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
