Al,
  Using CA 3.1.3 SF46891, I strpasthr from my source system V4R2 8195 to 
the target system at V4R2 8195.  While at the signon screen, I can press 
the emulated sysreq key to my heart's content but the system completely 
ignores anything I type on the sysreq line.  If I sign on and try it, 
options 13 and 14 don't work at all, but options 10 and 11 do.  btw, 102 
doesn't work - I get the sysreq menu on my source system, but not the 
"cancel. "

I've been doing sysreq 4buck (dspmsg buck) for years, so I'm familiar with 
the concept of putting menu options and parms into the sysreq line.  This 
one has me puzzled, to say the least!

I poked around my CA settings thinking it was related to buffering my 
attn/sysreq keys, but I couldn't find those settings.  I doubt it's 
related, because the behaviour changes when I sign on.

Since it worked for you (and probably Alexei - he has good advice) I 
figure it must be some difference between our setups...  If only I knew 
where to look.
