1. That's configurable, isn't it? SMFJWT or something? There are also 3270
emulators I think that will hit ENTER for you every 'n' minutes.
2. With RECOVERY ON, you don't lose anything in the editor before the last
ENTER. (You lose changes keyed onto the screen but not "ENTERed.")

I just remembered the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco, the resultant power
outage, and desperately trying to reconnect back onto our remote mainframe
so I would not lose a whole slew of pending edits. Don't recall whether I
succeeded or not. I suspect not.

I left z/OS as a development platform, going to Windows in 1996
for MXG Software totally because of the loss of everything under
TSO if I didn't hit enter every 45 minutes.
