Re: SAVE 21 - console required? Or just controlling subsystem?

HI

I remember doing just this back in the old green screen days. Meant I could
use any old terminal to run the save.

However, those terminals didn't need TCP unlike most current access
mechanisms. A Console device is likely to connect over the short TCP stack
and continue operatingduring your save whereas a device just transferred
into QCTL is likely to fail as soon as TCP is ended.

I suspect the message is a hangover from the old days of green screen
terminal devices.

But I'll be interested to see how this pans out.

But if you take the SAVE 21 option from a display not in the controlling
subsystem, it only says you must first transfer the job into the
controlling subsystem, then take the SAVE 21 option again. It does _not_
say you need to be at the console.

I infer from that, that it does _not_ need to be run from the console. Am
I right?
