OGTO is not expecting to have to reinitialize the system and so probably oesn't. ou need to review what the Login process is doing as well. ou may end up wiping out control information such as the user's port, name, ogin time, functions they can and can't do, menu access, default printer, and o on and so forth. All depends on how complex the login processor has become at your site. ome sites don't do a darn thing. Some have thousands of lines of code at ogin. Some of which set common (read "environment") variables, that you *don't ant* to clear, or at least that you want to reset if you do clear them. -----Original Message----- rom: Bill Brutzman <bi...@hkmetalcraft.com> o: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> ent: Thu, Apr 12, 2012 11:52 am ubject: Re: [U2] COMMON Size MisMatch ating my own dog food...
