Mike, I was waiting for Mike Walter to speak up but there is one other way that is the similar to the RDYMSG Exec.
It is the REREADY exec I that I got from Mike Walter put this line in the profile exec 'EXEC REREADY Munson at zVM3' and it will look like this q time TIME IS 15:31:17 EST FRIDAY 12/17/10 CONNECT= 08:03:30 VIRTCPU= 000:03.86 TOTCPU= 000:04.30 Munson at zVM3; T=0.01/0.01 15:31:17 I can send you a copy of the EXEC munson From: "Horlick, Michael" <michael.horl...@cgi.com> To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: 12/17/2010 03:26 PM Subject: Re: Curiousity question - Changing the status area Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU> Hi Ron et all, Will propose using the RDYMSG EXEC to the user. Easier than applying a local mod. We do have a session monitor (CA-TPX) but I haven't looked into it with regards to changing the status area and not everyone uses it or wants to. Thanks at all who responded, Mike ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System on behalf of Ron Schmiedge Sent: Fri 17/12/2010 3:12 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Curiousity question - Changing the status area Hi Mike, We use CA-VTERM multi-session manager, it changes the nodeid on the bottom right to the CMS userid, but that's probably not a viable solution for you, since that is probably more dollars than your client wants to spend. Don't know how they do it, but there is no CP mod (since I am in charge of CP and I certainly didn't apply a mod). VTERM magic! We also have some users using a version of the RDYMSG exec you have been been given a couple of times on this thread. This was discussed on the list last year and a few other times, and the DMSUME change has been the suggested option instead of changing the nodeid value in each thread. Joyeux Noel!
