Why the data area and not a call to an api to find out what other jobs the
user has access to and find the IP Address of those jobs?  No worry about
restart procedures, like if the user signed off of all sessions, moved to
another PC and then found out that the data area still existed.

Re: QLMTDEVSSN like for iseries access






I used to do a similar thing, limitting users to 4 sessions unless they 
had a user class other than *USER in which case they were allowed 
unlimmited sessions across multiple workstations.

The way I did it was to use the users Initial Program to check on how many 
sessions were active and respond accordingly.  To allow multiple sessions 
on the one PC I would do something like the following in the users initial 
program:

a) Retrieve the IP address for the current jobs joblog.  Peter Colpaert 
has posted a utility that should help with this on Leif Guldbrand's site 
at www.think400.dk/downloads.htm.

b) Attempt to retrieve the contents of a data area with the same name as 
the user ID into a 25 character field.  The data are should hold a date in 
the first 10 chars and an IP address in the last 15.

c) If the data area doesn't exist then create it (Size: 25 chars), setting 
chars 1-10 to the current date and chars 11-25 to the IP address retrieved 
in step a) above

d) If the IP address is different and the date is the same and this is not 
the only interactive session for the user then display a message and sign 
him/her off.

e) Update the data area with the current date and IP address.

f) Continue with the rest of the initial program

All the best
