In case this is causing confusion to some readers, the Session Manager that
includes the SMCOPY command, which was mentioned earlier, has nothing to do
with multiple sessions. There is a chapter about it in the TSO/E User's Guide.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to come up with that.
Thanks, Bill.
In the old days (80's), lots of shop ran SM, as I recall. It
had its points, but I was never totally comfortable with it.
I don't know if anybody runs it now.
Kind regards,

I don't know if IBM still maintains session manager. When they acquired Candle,
they had CL/Supersession which provides different but similar functionality.
They need CL/Supersession for OMEGAMON so if they were to get rid of one, it
would probably be session manager.
Session manager is the equivalent of running multiple TN3270 session. Think of
it �Nothing more so it doesn't have anything to do with single user signon for
TSO.�
As far as TSO COPY, it is so heavily used that IBM could not withdraw it. I
don't know if it's still priced.

Session manager allowed multiple terminal sessions from a single terminal.
Past tense? Is it gone? STTL?
Multiple sessions with the same user ID? On the same LPAR? I know
there are CBTTape type hacks for this, but it hasn't become mainstream.
Is ENQ on the ISPF profiles a further obstacle?
Do multiple sessions run in the same address space? How do they deal
with DDNAME conflicts? Is every utility invoked with an alternate DDNAME
list?
And concerning COPY, wasn't it mentioned earlier here that it belonged
to a separately priced feature, perhaps now withdrawn?
