I wasted considerable time tracking down communications failures with PCOM3270 and VTAM before level 2 informed me of this. Conditions under which this may happen seem to be wildly variable. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ken Koester, Systems Programmer | BITNET: MAINT2@ERS | | US Department of Agriculture | Tel: (202) 219-0577 | | Economic Research Service | Fax: (202) 219-1292 | | Data Services Center | (ATTN: Rm 110) | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
