Thanks very kindly. I forgot about looking at SYSLOG.
Here's what appears there (from VTAM):
IST663I INIT OTHER REQUEST FAILED , SENSE=08210002
IST664I REAL OLU=<NetID>.LM840004 REAL DLU=<NetID>.CICSTECH
IST889I SID = C40BD4AEEC2AF7FA
IST264I REQUIRED LOGMODE NAME DYNAMIC UNDEFINED
IST314I END
And (from NVAS):
EMS0599E ERROR - RPLREQ = X29, RTNCD = X14, FDBK2 = X4B, SENSE =
X08210002, LU
EMS0599E = CICSTECH, CID = X00000000.
EMS0524E MODULE EMSCREQE; ERROR DURING ALLOCATION - PLU = CICSTECH, SLU
=
EMS0524E LM840004.
So, it looks like we forgot to configure NVAS to support "modern"
emulators (my default MODEENT is D4C32XX3, which NVAS apparently
presents to VTAM as DYNAMIC). When I override the MODEENT at CINIT time
with EXT32782 (locally-defined clone of SNX32702 but with smaller
RUSIZEs), the "relay mode" logons within NVAS work but I'm "stuck with"
a 24x80 screen size.
As a side note, I've been bypassing NVAS for the last decade or so; now
I'm being asked more often to explain why some things don't work as
expected, and the most frequent complaint is the EMS1166E Relay Mode
logon failed ... message.
