Re: Command to take over a 5250 session

Rob--

There's an application called "PEEK" that allows you to look at 
another screen.  It used to let you take over the peeked-at session, 
but that option disappeared several releases ago.

And if you just want to use the other terminal and not take over a 
live  session, you used to be able to define a device type of _____, 
which with the proper override would let your session write and read 
from the taken-over screen.

There's a nifty explanation of special files at 
http://www.itjungle.com/2005/04/13/fhg041305-story01/

And an article about screen files at http://www.migrationspecialties.com

I couldn't find the info on the terminal device with a quick search.  ):
