So, Gil, has your DSLIST ended yet?
:~)
I killed my terminal emulator. Even as in the Bad Old Days I used
to unplug the coax. But neither of those techniques, nor operator
cancel, ought to be necessary assuming competent design of TSO, ISPF,
and their applications.
For whatever reason, TN3270 doesn't let me reconnect nowadays.
Formerly, pulling the coax didn't always work because I might just
reconnect to the same hangup. Turning reconnect off is no help,
of course.
A LOGON RECONNECT would not help you in this case, of course, because
you'd just be back to the same spot in your session, waiting for the
DSLIST to complete. You need a true logoff. Press your SYSREQ key then
LOGOFF or possibly LOGOFF TYPE(UNCOND) or LOGOFF TYPE(FORCE).
Also, to get RECONNECT working again, have your network system
programmers look at the TN3270 parms. There's one in there (sorry, I
don't know which one) that affects detection of disconnected terminals
that should allow faster detection of your disconnection, and thus allow
RECONNECT to work.

Tested it out, worked like a champ! Thanks for that
little technique, Walt.
Kind regards,
