hello everybody, thank you also for the responses. My fault was, that I only looked in the VTAM-books as done for years. So I didn't find/knew the new functions in IP. But .. I opened a question at service-link about this and this is the answer:
Even though both TN3270 and VTAM SNA are using the same USSMSG macros, it is two different components in Communications Server writing the USSMSG to the terminal. As such it takes modifications to two different modules to understand the system symbolics, replace the variables and write the actual content to the terminal. There was a requirement that was addressed for TN3270 access and this function was implemented because there were many customer asking for this. At the same time no customer raised this request for SNA access so there was no need to put additional code into the SNA USSMSG code. It would be nice to have this functions in TN3270 and SNA to have only one unique table but as I understand we need another requirement and also many customers asking for this.... and this will be the "problem". regards Juergen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
