Maybe the SYSREQ and ATTN aid keys should be treated differently from the run of the mill aid keys, and be allowed if the Inhibit flags are set? SysReq AFAIK will toggle between SSCP and PLU, which would allow you to possibly start up a new CICS session while another one is going on. At the very least, it will sometimes show a SYSREQ Menu, that will allow you to do special things.. The above comments could very possibly be incorrect, It's been 15 years since I used an IBM system as a user. As a quick fix to Scott's problem, could he possibly hit the RESET key, and then the SysReq? Bill Suetholz On 23-May-2000 Jason M.
