RE: Virtual Devices - Is there a MAX #?

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pat,

You have a user accessing the AS400 using some sort of virtual terminal
(could be telnet, display station passthru, Client access, etc).  QPADEV*
devices are assigned randomly to service these virtual devices, so you never
know what device a PC will get when it next connects.

S36 environment requires all OS400 workstation devices to be assigned a two
character device ID. CFGS36 should get you to that config option.

If the culprit is Client Access Express on a PC, you may be able to use
named devices to give you a persistent device name to register in S35 config
utility.

We have been getting the following message a lot in the last two days.

At this point the user is unable to signon (system ends the session
abnormally).  I know this workstation is valid though, because I can do
a WRKACTJOB and see it.  Of course, when I look out there now, the
workstation is assigned to another user.
Does the sys36 environment have a maximum number of sessions parameter?

TIA
Pat
