You're right. But, using a unix shell through a 3270 data stream interface the way TSO provides it, is a PITA, IMHO. "People primarily using TSO foreground" will not gain much from their 3270 experience, because UNIX shell command line is so much different from TSO/ISPF that you better start to learn it and then feel comfortable working in that other environment. This is the background for my statement "I consider it TSO/OMVS obsolete". It doesn't help, as you mentioned, when SSH/telnet/rlogin is not available or not allowed. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
