OS4000 does not support LOGIN/LOGOUT from the micro Kermit. However, it is possible for a System Manager to arrange a Kermit login option so that a user only needs to connect once. What I have done is the following: add the lines: OPTION KERMIT MODE NODP JCL SYS.INITKERM PROF SYSFILES.NDPUSR CONTEXT DIRECTRY to the global declarations in the ACCOUNTS source file (if it suits your system better, you could just as well have MODE NORM and SYSFILES.USER). Then set up SYS.INITKERM as: // INITJCL FOR AN AUTO-KERMIT USER. // RESTRICTED USER PROFORMAE // Note that for 5.5 ( COMM v. 930 ), if MODE='NODP', proformas must be // this way round. PROFORMA KERMIT (T=-1 C=-1) IN = STREAM 1 (*) - OUT = STREAM 2 (*/NEW) - WITH = STREAM 5 (SINK) PROFORMA CONTROL IN = STREAM 1 (%C) - OUT = STREAM 2 (*/NEW) //ENABLE BACKSPACE DELETES CONTROL IN=%H+ ?XC?H08 + //INFINITE FILE SIZE DEFAULT /I END SAY SAY Use GET or SEND . Remember to type SAY FINISH when you have finished. SAY KERMIT WITH %H; SERVER EXIT ; IF ERROR THEN CONTINUE LOGOUT With this set-up, all the user has to do is CONNECT and log in to the GEC as UUUUUU AAAAAA KERMIT. This starts GEC Kermit up in Server mode. Then the user can escape to his/her local Kermit and SEND and GET the required files. When (s)he types FINISH, (s)he gets logged out from the GEC.
