I had a similar distasteful experience with the (older?) ISPGUI(?)
And it didn't display Allocation messages (our old friend TPUT?)
Reported the problem:
SR: Oh, those appear on the terminal where you started ISPGUI.
gil: No terminal.
SR: Not possible.
gil: ISPF in batch job.
...
Short, unproductive discussion. Those messages should be
passed to the requesting task, not to a user ID.
And it required an idiosyncratic desktop "agent", not the widely
available X11 server. It satisfied IBM's requirements, not customers'.
