TCP/IP is not as flexable as V TAM in handling USSTABs. Unless they've changed the way it works later, as long as any connection is using the old copy of the table, that's the one in storage. New connections will pick it up. As far as I know there is nothing you can Obeyfile in that will change this (unless you Obeyfile in something that breaks all connectios using the table). Once all the connections have terminated the old table will be deleted. The next connection will cause the new table to be loaded. The only way I know of to get around this is to use 2 or more table names. Obeyfile in a new set of Tn3270 defs that refer to the new table name. The existing connections will not be hurt and new ones will get the new table. That's a pain if you make lots of changes and have long lasting connections. Keeping track of the table names can be a hassle. Maybe it's time for a formal request to IBM that TCP/IP do a better job of supporting USSTAB changes.
