Unfortunately, my test doesn't settle the question. We don't use logmodes at Sas (the 'd net' command returns "***NA***"). We logon to a home-grown solicitor program that determines the bind. It's very possible that PSERVIC is different for the different emulators and 'real' 3270 I have access to. And no, I don't have any way to specify a logmode. Don't think I haven't asked. :) -- Don Poitras - SAS Development - SAS Institute Inc. - SAS Campus Drive [EMAIL PROTECTED] (919) 531-5637 Cary, NC 27513 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
