WSCON—connect to a workstation

The WSCON service enables you to connect to the workstation without using the GUI parameter on the ISPSTART command and the Initiate Workstation Connection panel from the ISPF settings.

You can issue the WSCON service from a program, CLIST, or REXX exec to connect to the workstation.

Note: When connecting to the workstation in GUI mode, group boxes and images that are defined in the panel might not be displayed correctly on the first GUI panel. Constructs that are conditional on the ZGUI variable being set might not be displayed. After the user presses the Enter key, causing the panel to be reprocessed, all these constructs will be visible in GUI mode.
