Re[2]: fun with virtual devices QPADEV* -- MIDRANGE-L

     I have had a look at this ability and have found one big problem in 
     that it takes the number of sessions you are creating on the PC so if 
     you have more that one system it will work in the following way on 
     system A I opened two sessions a and b on system B I opened two 
     sessions and got  c and d. This of course will change if you open 
     system B first. This is a good start from IBM but needs refinement. 
     The other thing to watch out for is that if you hard code the 
     workstation Id as ABCD001/* it will create ABCD001#A this can be a 
     pain in the BPCS world.

Hi Andrei and the gang -

FYI for anyone who is going to try using this functionally ... the APAR 
information implies that the seed value for the device name must be the 
computer name or user name.  This is not the case.  A constant can also be 
used for the seed, such as usingg ABCDEF* for the workstation ID where 
ABCDEF is the seed and the asterisk indicates that the session id is to be 
appended on the end to make the device name.  I assume that this will work 
with the equal sign on the end also; I haven't tried that.
