Hi Heather,
Can you make a trace file, and send it to me? Please send it to me
directly (not to the list) as they can get large, and they contain
everything that's sent to/from your AS/400 (including your password).
In fact, you may want to create a "dummy" account on your AS/400, create
the trace file, and then delete it. (That way, you don't have the worry
about the password issue.)
The way that you create a trace file is to type something like this:
tn5250 trace=/path/to/tracefile.txt [other parms] as400.example.com
Or, if you use a tn5250rc file, you can put the "trace=" command in there.
(If your curious about what a trace file does, you can play it back by
typing: tn5250 debug:/path/to/tracefile.txt then, step through the
trace by pressing space bar...)
>From this trace, I'll try to see what's going wrong, and see what I can
do to fix it.
Thanks
