Re: ACS / 5250 transfer to secondary job.

I have not used secondary jobs since iSeries Navigator gave us the ability to start multiple telnet sessions. Stop living 35 years ago and when you need a second screen, start another session. I don’t want IBM to spend a plugged nickel on indicating if a secondary job is active.

It's only been like 35 years of me doing this. even back in the dumb
terminal days, where the device could have 2 twinax addresses, so with the
secondary job you could have 4 sessions going.

I have 2 active sessions (two seperate windows). On one of my two sessions,
have I started my secondary job (3 jobs in total). BUT I DON"T KNOW WHICH
ONE. and I seem to ALWAYS GUESS WRONG, so I have to signon again.
I have multiple sessions (individual windows per session).

It sure would be handy on the ACS window if there was some flag to denote
that a secondary session was running.
I wanted to mention this here before I put in a feature request, just in
case someone has found a way around this.
