RE: break messages locking session up

["pat" <pat@xxxxxxxxx>]

By "locking up", I mean that session is "done".  You have to actually close
that session down.  The cursor still blinks and you can move it around, but
you cannot type anymore commands or function keys.  The reset does not work.

Pat,

Can you describe what you mean by "locking up"?  I can recall having
sessions interrupted by break messages while typing.  If you keep typing,
you could certainly fill up the keystroke buffer and need to reset the
screen.  Is this what is happening, or is OS/400 somehow getting involved?

I seem to remember some finger-twisting hard-reset keystroke combination,
but for the life of me I don't remember what it was.

I can think of no reason why an upgrade would cause this, unless you
upgraded your client access and need a service pack.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
