RE: how to change the device name for SNA client..

I never did figure out how to 'fix' the session names.  The later versions
of Client Server allow you to make the name stable with a workstation
setting.  In other words, you can 'name' the terminal and it will stay put.
What I've done as a work-around was to find the CL programs of the offending
systems and change them to use the full 10 characters.  The only one that
was killing us was Labor Entry (SFC600).  The programs suffix the device
name with an 'S' in the transaction file FLT MBR(WORK)and if the device name
is too long, you have issues.  I removed the S with CL changes (I think) and
it worked OK.  The other systems didn't really have a problem except for the
remembered keys and jobq/outq thingies - my users have been trained to check
'em at sign-on time.

Dear all,

We have BPCS 4.0.5CD, users use SNA client( running on Win95 platform )
with SNA 4.0 server( running on NT server ) to connect to as/400 and using
BPCS. Each time when they logon the terminal will automatically have an
assigned Device name which looks all like this:

QPADEV00XX

However some BPCS transaction program can't work properly if there is more
than 1 workstation have the first 8 character the same in the device name.
So, How to change this to a shorter one?

Thanks in anticipation and best regards,
Huang Qin
