I can find out, if I remember to ask: Two of my sons have worked as tellers. Neither of them happen to be at hand just now, but maybe soon I'll think to ask one of them.

I never worked as a teller either and don’t know anyone who did. I suspect bank service reps (the ones who open or close your accounts or deal with other account issues) probably do logon, along with their managers, but I am also ignorant of the daily operation of those jobs. I do seem to remember 3278-class “green screen” terminals at one of the retail banks I regularly dealt with as a customer, but that was three or more decades ago. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Bob Bridges Sent: Monday, August 14, 2023 12:01 PM Fair enough. And what about the tellers? I ask in simple ignorance, never having been one myself; do they log on to a mainframe ID at the beginning of their shift? -----Original Message----- From: Farley, Peter Sent: Monday, August 14, 2023 11:19 ATM's (and other IOT's like cash register subsystems, etc.) aren't "logged on" per se, AFAIK. I believe that those are transactional accesses, one to check user PIN/Password/authorization of the card, another for each money withdrawal/deposit/transfer/etc. I don't believe they are actively accessing the mainframe the whole time you are using them, only when you perform an action and then only for that one transaction. I think you wouldn't count those as "logged on", as opposed to the human insurance agents who may well be actively logged on from their office researching plans for a client or even possibly from a mobile device at a claim investigation site. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
