Re: Is there a way to prevent iSeries Access exit before 5250 session logoff?

Hi, all:

This following approach works... at least, with MochaSoft;s N5250 emulator ...

If you can provide a menu entry such as "99. Sign off" within your applications menus, and have that menu entry do the following:

1. close any open files, RCLRSC, RCLACTGRP, etc.

2. issue:
SIGNOFF ... ENDCNN(*YES)

this will terminate the telnet session and should automatically close the telnet session window.
(NOTE: If you are still using SNA connections to the host, I am not sure what happens!)

That way, you can just train the users to use this method to sign-off and close the window, all at once.

(Unfortunately, when I tried this with IBM ClientAccess or iSeriesAccess and a few other open source TN5250 emulators, they did not close the window, but just said "Disconnected"... perhaps someone might know of a way to configure the IBM ClientAccess 5250 emulator, or some of the other emulators, to close the window when disconnected?)

Hope this might help some folks...?
