10+ years ago we had a vtam appl switcher (sorry forgot the name but
it could have been TPX).
It worked great on real 3270's but they made us switch over pc's. The
3270 emulator would not let us hit reset and pa1 . It essentially
made the vtam appl switcher unusable. grumble grumble I complained
but no one would listen. I suggested dropping the product as it was
useless now. The VP of the PC department got p-oed. We had a meeting
and when I showed up with VTAM traces to prove his emulator wasn't
working correctly he got even madder.

PA1.
That won't work if the keyboard is locked. Attention should always
work.
Shmuel,
Thanks for that helpful information. I never knew that.
And it works with MacKinney's VTAM/Switch (which uses the PA1 key
to switch
between sessions) - that is, pressing Attention returns control to
Switch
where you can type "SIM PA1" (simulate pressing PA1) to end the SDSF
auto-update.
