Re: open and fill a new ACS window/session from an already open ACS session

Agreed.

And I've been teaching people to do this with web versions of 5250 type apps for years.

I know Booth won't agree - but the horse is dead and it is time to stop beating it.

If the view portion was web based I could conjure up use cases for it, but not 5250.

Part two: If it were possible would it be useful? Not only useful, but accepted and used by the community?

Forget the 5250 emulator you are using, it is possible between to different interactive jobs?

I’m guessing with creative thinking and using things like user queues or users spaces one could build a program to accomplish your goal, but ACS (or other emulator) are not the key to it.

think of it as communicating between jobs, or creating a new on line job and causing the display to go. (Good luck with the last piece, how do you know which telnet device to use., again I’m guessing it might be possible but it would be quite the task)
