Re: open and fill a new ACS window/session from an already open ACS session

Forget the 5250 emulator you are using, it is possible between to different interactive jobs?

I’m guessing with creative thinking and using things like user queues or users spaces one could build a program to accomplish your goal, but ACS (or other emulator) are not the key to it.

think of it as communicating between jobs, or creating a new on line job and causing the display to go. (Good luck with the last piece, how do you know which telnet device to use., again I’m guessing it might be possible but it would be quite the task)

Isx it possible to open and fill a new ACS window/session from an already open ACS session? Example: Already open session: choose a customer from a subfile and, in the RPG program, fill a DSPF format on another session? And, if not open, open the new session?

(I suspect the answer is "NO!!!" but I have been surprised before.
