Re: Attention Key Program - where to set ?

I agree that the attention key should be user set.  If the vendor has added 
this capability then the ability to turn this off should be in that vendors 
user profile settings file.  For example, BPCS should add this to the ZSC file.

Subject:        Attention Key Program - where to set ?

Hi Folks,

Is there any kind of consensus on where the Attention Key program should
be set, i.e. in the User Profile or within the Initial Program ?

There seems to be NO consensus among 3rd party software vendors and that
is starting to cause me a MAJOR problem...

It looks like to me it makes MORE sense to let the User Profile do this.
That way if Vendor A uses the Attention Key program it gets set there.
If Vendor B wants to use it, we (the users) would write our OWN
Attention Key program and include Vendor A and Vendor B (and Vendor C,
D, E, etc.) in it...

The OTHER way, setting within the Initial Program, it "bulls over"
whatever was already in place... i.e. Vendor A gets set in the User
Profile and Vendor B in the Initial Program and all you get is Vendor
B's Attention Key program...

This looks to me to be yet another example of vendors stepping over the
line when it comes to System Operations.

Am I alone in this ?

Thanks..

Chuck
