I can't explain why you lose sessions, but it's a perennial problem on the mainframe. Often there' a S622 abend--terminal I/O error--recorded. I see it as the nature of the beast.
Forgive me if I'm echoing others; I haven't read every post in this thread. There are two actions you might take to alleviate users' misery. 1. Allow TSO RECONNECT. After letting this feature wither and molder for many years, IBM recently revived it. RECONNECT now works quite well, but you have to take a few actions to enable it. The user may still get disconnected for whatever reason, but the session (address space) remains intact for a period of time. This solution is pretty good and is essentially FREE. 2. (Buy and) install an SNA session manager. This is an address space on z/OS that every user traverses for every interaction. It works for all VTAM applications such as TSO, SMCS, CICS, OMEGAMON, etc. We use CA-TPX. Candle has/had CL Supersession. IBM has a Netview product. I've heard of others that may be cheaper. The key is that the session manager maintains connectivity to the application no matter what happens to the user's terminal thingy. If you get disconnected, you log back on the to the session manager, which typically puts you back into the same screen with the same data you last entered. If this problem is sufficiently serious and costly to your organization, certainly some action is warranted. And maybe even some $$. . .
