If a non-numeric character is entered at the gwcharcons console
selection prompt, the screen may go blank. Enter a valid numeric
character to continue.
If a user’s console session becomes slow or unresponsive to the
MCC’s console manager program (for example, because of excess
message traffic), the MCC will disconnect from the specific user’s
console session, and log an error message. This prevents negative
effects on other users.
Using gwcharcons
When first entering gwcharcons, a list of the available consoles is displayed. The
following options are available for paging a long list of consoles: P for previous
page and N for next page. At the bottom of the screen is a listing of the control
keys that are available at other points in the system.
To access a console, type the console number and press or
(depending on what sort of keyboard you are using). When using a console, type
normally, using for the key.
Note: 3270-like terminals require extensive use of the softkeys option
discussed below.
