RE: SIGNOFF ENDCNN(*YES) without disconnecting iSeries Access

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

Would a command validation exit program help you with this?  Seems like you could retrieve the call stack of the job requesting the SIGNOFF command, determine whether you need ENDCNN(*YES) or not, then execute the amended command string.

Just a WAG...

Hi, Mark. That's a nice idea; thanks for that. The main problem I see
with it is that the user could have any one of three systems as the
home system for any given session. A single hard-coded value would not
be enough to be able to identify the home system. Also, with multiple
telnets the home system could appear more than once in the stack and
we would want to end the connection at the lower levels. It's only at
the very top level that we want to avoid it.
