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

A separate subsystem?  That sounds interesting.  How would that work?  How 
does the AS/400 know what subsystem to use? 

The project I am working on is gathering time data via a Windows 
Client/Server package.  People turning in time sheets are spread all over 
the campus and the majority are a long ways from a terminal or client 
access session. In addition to that we have no desire to provide all of 
them with AS/400 accounts; we just want them submitting their time worked. 
  Security of who is entering who's time is of no great concern, (heck, 
until now they've just handwritten their time sheets and left them in a 
basket on the  counter).

But we don't want to leave the AS/400 naked either.

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.
