Thanks for the help. After coding "CMDCALL" I received the message: DMSWRD917E No windows are showing virtual screen SCSN1_A
How could this be, nothing had changed with the Z/VM environment or with the program code? A co-worker tried the screen on her pc and everything worked fine. It turns out I'm using Jolly Giant QWS3270 Plus. My coworker is using the free version, QWS3270. The user who originally had the problem just received (Monday) a new pc and had the free version QWS3270 installed. I checked the session options between the 2 free versions. The terminal type that needs to be set is IBM-3278-3 (the new one was IBM-3278-2) then things worked fine. My Plus version never did work correctly.
