A number of options. CA VM:Operator is the best option
SET OBSERVER can help. If OPERATOR is disconnected then SET SECUSER allows commands in and to see the output - but it does alter the way that some things work. CA VM:Spool will allow you to look at the spooled console without closing it Or you could simply take over the OPERATOR with a LOGON OPERATOR HERE Really depends on your setup and situation Colin Allinson VM Systems Support Amadeus Data Processing GmbH
