>>-WSCON-------------------------------------------------------><

Displays the Initiate Workstation Connection panel. Using this panel, you can start a workstation connection. There are some restrictions to consider if you choose to start a workstation connection with this command:

• At the completion of ISPF command processing, or program, CLIST, or REXX exec execution, ISPF does not reprocess the panel from which the command was invoked. The panel is simply relaunched to the screen without processing, for example, the panel's )INIT section. So, if certain constructs are defined within the panel sections based on the ZGUI variable (nonblank indicating connection in GUI mode), these constructs are not defined properly until after the Enter key is pressed following the WSCON command.
• When connecting to the workstation in GUI mode, the first panel displayed in GUI mode might not contain group boxes and images that are defined on the panel. After you press the Enter key, causing the panel to be reprocessed, these constructs are visible in GUI mode.
