Re: Can we have a session without a log-on?

You can program green-screen to work like the web as far as logons. 
(How do you think you get a signon screen?)
You can also (or at least you used to be able to ) set up a subsystem
with a default logon, so that if someone just hit enter at a screen, it
would start a session using the default logon.  (This was good for
printer control stations & stuff like that).

There are lots of features in OS/400 work management that only a few of
us still remember how to use.  It just doesn't get used much in normal
operations of most shops.
