VSPO is a program that runs under GCS on the VTAM virtual machine (or any other machine in the group). It acts as a Secondary Program Operator, allowing users of other virtual machines to pass commands to VTAM via SMSG and receive responses back via MSGNOH. During initialization, VSPO reads a list of authorized users from an ordinary CMS file. Any user on the list can issue a VTAM VARY, DISPLAY, or MODIFY command by entering: SMSG VTAM cmd where 'cmd' is the VTAM command. The list of authorized users can be updated without a regen of VSPO, and without bringing down VTAM.
VSPO can handle concurrent requests, delivering VTAM's response to each one to just the user who issued it. Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more details.
