RE: SNDBRKMSG is not going away..

I think we've run across this one before. If your users are connecting via
TCP/IP, and you are not using named sessions(ie. your device is named
QPADEV001 instead of PCLOU or something similar), and you have a LOT of
devices configured, the break message is sent to EVERY one of them. Since
you get the next available device name every time you connect, it may seem
like the message is not going away, but you are actually getting the msgq
for that workstation, which wasn't yet cleared.

One of our larger customers did this a while ago. They have several hundred
users, many of whom have several sessions going at once. What we wound up
doing was signing in over the weekend, and manually clearing all the device
msgq's. Didn't take more than 10 or 15 minutes.

Hope this helps,

One of my users have sent a SNDBRKMSG to all workstations - for some reason
that message appears every time someone signs on to a new session. Yes , we
have removed the message from the current session but for some reason when
we sign on again   it comes back.

Any idea? Thanks
