Hello Fernando and other SAS-L Friends,
It's never as easy as they say at SUGI ;-) For those of you who use to
watch Star Trek, think of Spock yelling, "the pain, the pain".
Anyway, to get back to your problem, the typical cause is that the connect
script is anticipating different prompts than your TSO system
supplies. You can figure this out by carefully watching the system prompts
when you log in via Extra! Then look at the TCPTSO.SCR file that you are
running and see where the differences may be.
Or, if you're lazy like me, you can temporarily remove the /* and */ from
the top of TCPTSO.SCR and watch the messages scroll by.
BTW, TCP is a much faster communication access method than EHLLAPI and
HLLAPI, on the order of a 10 to 1 difference. I'd use it instead.
