User slots

[Michael Greer]

I have a customer using facetterm to connect to a linux box and run a Pxplus app.  When they make the first connection their user slot (tcb(27)) shows up as -20.  When I connect a second time from the same IP address the user slot shows up as 20.  Is this the same user slot?  Why is one positive and one negative.  Thanks!

A positive number means a user slot is being used, while negative means it is sharing an existing user slot.

Devon,

Can you share the rules for when PxPlus shares user slots.  If I have a +20 and -20, is that the *same* user slot.  One would think.  In my current context folks are logging in to unix and then firing up the PxPlus application.  If they initiate 2 sessions does this burn off one or 2 slots?

Thanks!
