Richard, If memory serves me correctly, you, as a class G user can become a secondary console user to the VTAM virtual machine and send messages to VTAM and receive VTAM's reply(s). I used EXECs like 'DNET' and 'FNET' to be something similar to the OS/390 and/or z/OS commands 'D NET' and 'F NET'. These EXECs worked fine for me.
Hope this helps. HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

We have some naïve (VM illiterate) users in the network group who need to be able to issue commands to VTAM. I am hesitant about giving them the ability to either log on to VTAM or be made SECUSER to it. My fuzzy memory in this area is that there is/was a commonly used exit or exec available somewhere.
