RE: Diabling Telnet Attention key

["Shannon ODonnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, I sign the user off in the application automatically,  SIGNOFF
ENDCNN(*YES).  I don't want them to see the telnet attention key menu.

In any event, I just spoke with IBM Software Support and they tell me
that this "feature" is built in to the telnet server, regardless of
which operating system it runs on.

Uh, and you expect the user to shut down the Telnet session how, with
Attn disabled?

You could lock the user out of the QGTVCTLF *PNLGRP. If you do this,
then Attn simply crashes the Telnet client (but leaves an orphaned
connection until the user signs off -- messy).
