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

I believe what you're asking for is possible with the ACQ operation
code.20-something years ago we did this (in COBOL) to display a cleaner
screen to those who didn't need to do the input. But as others have said,
wouldn't you really be better off using a more modern technology? What are
you going to do with the original ACS session? It's really old stuff. (This
is the basic concept of how the airport screens showing arrivals and
departures were updated. But they've moved on to better interfaces. The old
green character-based screens provided all the needed information, but any
airport which would use one of the displays would probably be closed before
long.)

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

Isx it possible to open and fill a new ACS window/session from an already
open ACS session?? Example: Already open session: choose a customer from
a subfile and, in the RPG program, fill a DSPF format on another session??
And, if not open, open the new session?

(I suspect the answer is "NO!!!" but I have been surprised before.
