This is actually an interesting one to investigate - despite the background.[1]
"EMS" is the prefix for NetView Access Services (NVAS). However EMSSYS04 is not a message number as can be verified by checking the NVAS Messages manual on shelf http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/EMS0BK03 This looks like it could be a standard TN3270 logon panel when there is no USS message support. Whatever happened before, it appears the resulting output may be from NVAS and it presents a "return code", RCODE, (which is not a token in any of the manuals on the NVAS shelf). The text suggest checking CS IP message EZZ6035I for details of the return code - actually this is clear only in hindsight having puzzled over it a bit. In the CS IP Messages manual (vol. 4) EZZ6035I is actually followed by the text "TELNET DEBUG" and then a string of annotated codes in a number of formats. One of the codes is described as RCODE and "return code" 2034 has the following - supposed - explanation: <quote> 2034 Specified maximum ReqSess attempts exceeded. The connection appears to be in a CLSDST PASS loop. The number of Request Session attempts in a 10 second period exceeded the number specified on the MAXREQSESS statement or the default. PARM1 contains the limit value in hexadecimal. The count is incremented when a BIND is received from the host application. </quote> Here's the description of MAXREQSESS from the CS IP Configuration Reference manual: <quote> 2.8.2.22 MAXREQSESS The MAXREQSESS parameter statement limits the number of session requests received by Telnet in a 10-second period. For this parameter, a BIND received by Telnet defines a session request. If the number of BINDs received in a 10-second period exceeds the limit, the connection is dropped and an error is reported. Telnet is initialized with a MAXREQSESS value of 20. </quote> Could this be NVAS attempting to "pass" to itself? Chris Mason [1] I found Joel Ewing's post only in Google Groups so I'll copy it here since it deserves to be seen by those who see only e-mail. <quote> It means you are attempting to gain access to a system you are not authorized to use. If you were authorized, you would have received instructions about what this screen means and what responses you should give. If you persist, you will draw attention to yourself - hope you know a good defense lawyer. If there's anyone out there who hasn't already figured it out from his prior posts, this individual is obvious looking for someone naive enough to give him clues about how to hack in to some site supporting TN3270. It is clear from the kinds of questions he is asking he has only the vaguest concept of what TN3270 is other than it usually involves mainframes; and equally obvious that he has never been given any instruction on proper use of any TN3270 application, so there are unlikely to be any TN3270 sites he is legally entitled to use. </quote> ----- Original Message ----- From: "John S.
