Re: Change S/36 Environment Question

There is a S36 Environment Attribute to allow (or not allow) changes while
users in S36.
GO cmds36
#2 (chgs36a) (or do this cmd by itself)
look for  Allow CHGS36 while active  . . .   *YES          *YES, *NO, *SAME
not sure but may have to have users off for this.
once set to yes, you can change the printer assignments between native &
s36.
beware that i've seen changes in a large system with lots of users take 20
minutes
after user presses enter. apparently rewrites the entire mapping table, even
if changed
only one record.
