There is a related problem if they doing some interactive update to corporate records ... THEY may be done with the input, the the program may be written such that it expects a normal end-of-job, not a user initiated crash. Since the user not think of this as being a crash, no one is told they just crashed their job, no one knows it until we find out that the data has been scrambled. We get this all the time with "in use" flags needing to be reset, where one of the last closure steps is the program says this or that is no longer "in use" except by using the red X, the program never gets to that reset point.

Does anyone know if there is a way to ensure a user actually logs off
their iSeries 5250 session before they click on the (windows) red X to
close the 5250 emulation window? We have "untrainable" users who instead
of logging off their session, just click on the red X to 'end' the
session, thinking that it doesn't matter.

The big problem is if they are in an interactive session, and do a request
that may take a short time (ie build a subfile that uses a dynamic SQL)
and if the session doesn't return 'quickly enough' they just end the
session without a proper signoff. Then the program continues to run,
logging display file i/o errors, and it starts to hog the cpu. I'd like to
disable the red X until they actually log off.

Is that possible?
