Part of my LISTSG tool is USERLIST, displays the user of users in a FILELIST

*USERLIST *  --> list everyone
*USERLIST LIN**  --> list users starting with "LIN"
*USERLIST CP Q NSS USERS CMS|drop 2|Split*  --> lists all users that use

You should use "nfind VSM_-" to make sure you don't match a userid that
starts with VSM that happens to be logged in via a VSM machine.  Remember
that pipeline "find" uses a blank to match any character, and an underscore
to match a blank.  In this case, you want to make sure blanks follow "VSM".

Hi Frank --  Yes, that pipe looks like it makes good use of rules 1 and 2
and comes up with a good list.   Nicely done - thanks!

I still don't think the VSM info should be under Q NAMES - and those sneaky

now at least I have a better way than just tossing 'VSM'.

Perhaps it would help to know that all VSMs

2. Have the '-' in column 9.  User IDs have it in column 10.  (Sneaky,

VM TCP/IP uses the same *CCS interface for linemode telnet sessions as 
VTAM does for its terminal sessions.  The VM book "VSM" references were 
all added back in VM/SP R4, and so predate any VM "recognition" 
(politically) of TCP/IP.  To make it a bit worse, CP can't really tell the 
difference between VTAM and TCP/IP in this regard.

But *I* know what VSMs "VTAM" and "TCPIP" do and so know how to interpret 
the users I see following each VSM.

I mean, haven't you thought it a bit strange that CP DISABLE SNA will stop 
linemode telnet sessions?!?  Haven't you?   Hello?

Re: VSM - TCPIP

2010-09-15 Thread David Boyes
VM Tcp uses the VTAM linemode console support to do linemode telnet (not 
tn3270) support. Do a telnet to your VM system and log in, then do a q names. 
You'll see 

user - TCPIPn

as a 'terminal id'.

At the time that code was written, I don't think LDEVs did line mode and there 
was a requirement to support plain telnet so they grabbed the SNA console 
support which did, thus the VSM indicator.

It's handy for doing system automation stuff - much easier to drive from 
Programs than LDEVs.

VSM - TCPIP

2010-09-15 Thread Scott Rohling
Just wondering if anyone else sees the value in finding "VSM     - TCPIP" as
an entry when doing a 'CP QUERY NAMES'.   This is described as being the
users of the VTAM service machine ...   As someone who often writes system
utilities which do a QUERY NAMES to find the active users - this is always
something I have to code around.  I know there are still SNA users out
there, but have always wondered if it's still relevant or even consistent to
list it under QUERY NAMES (rather than say, a QUERY VSM cmd)?Always
interested in learning from other listers...  I'm sure I'm missing something
that pulls it all together.
