Hello Mike, There are two ways to do this: 1) Set up a device entry in the subsystem that allows signon by simply pressing the enter key. The associated routing entry automatically runs your application. Check the Work Management guide for more information. Security issues may negate this option 2) Start a batch job that allocates the terminal in question. The terminal must be available -- not signed on. The batch generally program uses the OVRDSPF command to point the display file to the device (it is possible to specify the device name when creating or changing the display file and the terminal will be allocated when the file is opened -- again it cannot be in use).
