- I have a work around on this. When I'm running in an SNA session I
- 'SET FULLSCREEN ON'. Now I can SESSION around all over the place and
- the CMS FullScreen grabs incoming stuff with the result that I don't get
- blasted back to "home" with every message *and* when I do return to
- "home" all the messages are there for me to see. (In a LOGFILE, too.)
-
- Drawbacks? Well, FULLSCREEN does take a little getting used to and that
- ain't necessarily bad. A hint for those who haven't tried it out:
- I created a 'FULLSCREEN EXEC' which includes...
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- /* CMSPF Rexx -- set BRWms PFKeys in the CMS FULLSCREEN environment */
- 'SET FULLSCREEN ON'
- 'SET CMSPF 23 Session DELAYED SESSION '
- 'SET CMSPF 24 Session NOECHO SESSION'
- /* ...any other PFKey settings you have you should duplicate with
- as CMSPF keys... */
- 'CP SET PF3 IMMED SET FULLSCREEN RESUME'
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- ...the net effect of it gives me the PF3 to flip in and out of
- FULLSCREEN -- CMSPF 3 in FullScreen is by default a FULLSCREEN SUSPEND
- which flips me out, and now PF3 is a FULLSCREEN RESUME which flips me
- back in. I only need run FULLSCREEN EXEC once per LOGIN or if you
- do a SET FULLSCREEN OFF it must be re-run. Also note
- that it's a good idea to SUSPEND if/before you are running GONE.
-
- Which reminds me... if you are running FULSCREEN ON and do a DISConnect
- any incoming messages will be logged and the sender will not get the
- usual CP message about the USERID DISCONNECTED. The won't get any
- response, but you will get their messages. At least that's the way it
- works under: VM/XA CMS 5.6, Service Level 205
