Hi,

when trying to implement some functionality with vmcp send as a
secondary user, I found, that this only works as long as a terminal is
connected.

This is documented in CP Commands and Utilities in the SET SECUSER
usage notes. It also states that you need a connection to *MSG to make
this work.

After reading a little bit in CP Programming Services, I thought, that
iucvconn might be able to fulfill that task. And yes, it almost does.
However, after it gets the first message from *MSG, it fails with the
error:

iucvterm: The version of the received data message is not supported

Looking into an strace of the iucvconn command, I can see a reasonable
message in EBCDIC.

Now, is there a reasonable command from linux that can connect to *MSG
and just output the messages from CP? Anyone out there who also
stumpled across this?
