Issue/Introduction
We have customized panels TEN0041 and TEN0010 to use session numbers as described in the documentation : Implement Session Number Usage in TPX
This uses the TPXUSES# exit source and provides a 2 digit session number. Is it possible to expand the 2-digit session numbers to 3-digit session numbers so that we can have more than 99 sessions?
Environment
TPX® Session Management for z/OS
Resolution
If you are using the provided TPXUCMND which works with Session numbers on the TPX menu (KD: How to Implement Session numbers on the TPX menu), then the exit can handle 3 digit Session numbers.
The MODEL statement on the TEN0041 and TEN0010 panels needs to be changed. Insert an additional space between _Z<z and <UENTUSER+, shifting the remaining fields to the right as needed.
