CA/400 Workstation virtual device names.

["Roger Vicker, CCP" <rvicker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a client that is starting to implement several WIN95 PCs using
CA/400 set for 5250 in workstation emulation and using a shared device
name. The thing we are trying to figure out is what controls whether the
virtual device name is the shared device appended with a letter
('PC010101' + 'A' = 'PC010101A') or 'S' and a number ('PC010101' + 'S1'
= 'PC010101S1'). This makes a difference because the user's SIGNON
program trys to set the job to go to their attached PC printer outq by
looking at the job (#######/USER/DEVICE) and looking up the outq.

Prior to WIN95 or using Wall Data or direct from NetSoft routers it was
always 'S' and a number until more than 9 connections from the same PC.

Thanks.
