RE: Ending TELNET sessions....

[Hart Doug <dah6696@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

        The command SIGNOFF ENDCNN(*YES) looks to be the simple answer but I
would like to take this a step further.  I use Netsoft's TCP
connectivity from my desktop to an AS/400.  If I signoff the AS/400 with
ENDCNN(*YES) it drops me out to a black window and I must reconnect to
get back to a 400 signon screen.  The problem comes when I tried to
enhance my custom signoff program.  We like most shops with multiple
system have a modified signoff program that in some form does an
ENDPASTHR.  This is quite handy when exiting a second (passed through)
system.  Now to telnet.  The signoff endcnn(*yes) works well on a second
system as well, but not from your primary PC to 400 session through
Netsoft TCP as mentioned above.

        So the issue becomes how do I know if I'm on my 2nd AS/400 hop via
telnet vs. my primary system so that I can execute signoff with or
without ENDCNN?  The trick seems straight forward.  When I hop to a
second 400 via telnet and hit <esc> I get the  menu 'Send TELNET Control
Functions'.  This does not show when I'm attached to the primary AS/400.
 Now how do I test for this menu or function?  Nothing different shows
in the program stack from on system to another.  Does anyone know of an
API that has a flag?

     I know this came up not too long ago, but I didn't need to know 
     then... :)  As I recall, the consensus was that the only way to end
     a TELNET session to another as400 is to use the attn 99 disconnect 
     option. Is that correct, or is there some command comparable to 
     ENDPASTHR for ending TELNET?
     
     TIA
