  ****** PART 1 ENHANCEMENTS ******
  THE FOLLOWING ARE CHANGES IN THE DESIGN OF SESSION MANAGER
  FROM 5740XE200 TO TSO/E RELEASE 2.
  REFER TO SC28-1305 AND SC28-1306 FOR FURTHER DETAILS
  - INITIAL SESSION MANAGER LOGON MESSAGE CHANGED FROM
  'PRESS ENTER TO BEGIN....' TO '***'
  -DEFINE WINDOW COMMAND
  -WRAP , MAX COMMANDS ADDED TO CALCULATE LINES AND WIDTH
  -RELATIVE ROW/COLUMN SPECIFICATION (WIDE SCREEN SUPPORT)
   (SESSION MANAGER NOW SUPPORTS SCREEN SIZES LARGER THAN
   24 ROWS BY 80 COLUMNS ... IE 3290 3278 MOD 5)
  -FIND COMMAND
   -REPEAT FIND CAPABILITY
  -MESSAGES MAY NOW BE LOGGED IN TSOOUT WHILE UNDER FULL SCREEN
   BY USING THE INSTALLATION MANAGEMENT EXIT ADFEXIT1.
  -SPLIT ARE SCREEN CLISTS INCLUDED IN SYS1.SAMPLIB
  -DEFAULT ENVIRONMENT HAS BEEN ENHANCED (ADFMDFLT)
   -USE OF ENHANCED DEFINE.WINDOW ADDED AS DEFAULT
   -STOP AUTOMATIC SCROLLING OF MAIN WINDOW
   -ADDED '===<' WINDOW BEFORE ENTRY WINDOW
    (THIS MEANS THAT ENTRY WINDOW STARTS IN COLUMN 6 NOT 1
     ANY DEFINE.WINDOW COMMANDS DEFINING THE ENTRY WINDOW
     BEGINNING IN COLUMN 1 WILL FAIL AND THE ENTRY WINDOW
     NOT BE DEFINED.)
  - PF KEYS UPDATED ( PF1 PF3 PF4 DISABLED PF12 SCROLL LEFT MAX)
  - CHANGED 'THIS IS THE TSOOUT STREAM' TO 'TSO SESSION OUTPUT'
  - 'OLD' DEFAULT ENVIRONMENT PUT IN ADFMDOLD AND ADFOLDX
  - FORMAT OF SESSION MANAGER COMMAND ENTRY SCREEN IMPROVED.
  ****** PART 2 MAINTENANCE INCLUDED ******
  THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES PROBLEMS FIXED IN THE NEW RELEASE:
  (THESE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN 5740XE200 SHOULD NOT OCCUR
  WHEN TSO/E RELEASE 2 VERSION OF SESSION MANAGER IS INSTALLED.
  THE CORRECTIVE CODE FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS CAUSES SESSION
  MANAGER TO WORK DIFFERENTLY AND THE RESULTANT OPERATION IS
  IN SOME CASES NOT APARABLE AS IT IS WITHIN THE PRODUCT DESIGN)
  1- MESSAGE TO LOGGED OFF USER CAUSED ABEND0C4 IN ADFMDF21
  2- ABEND13E, ABEND33E, ABEND913 IN SESSION MANAGER RECOVERY
     NOT USING JUST THE SYSTEM COMPLETION CODE TO CHECK COMP.
  4- SMCOPY LOST LAST BYTE WHEN LRECL WAS 133.
  5- SESSION MANAGER SCREEN ERROR ADF028I (OZ49240).
     -TO FIX THIS SUPPORT WAS ADDED FOR TPG MACRO (EXTENDED TPUT)
  6- TWO LINES CONCATENATED WITH VS/APL (OZ51156).
  7- ABEND WITH UNAUTHORIZED TMP (OZ46619).
  8- ADFEXIT2 INVOKED IN WRONG KEY (OZ49251).
  9- ABEND0F8 IN ADFMDF01 AFTER PROCESSING ABEND806
  10- USER GETS SWAPPED OUT AND KEYBOARD LOCKS INDEFINITELY,
    (OZ43721) (ALSO, INPUTS STACKED WOULD BE HONORED TO
    UNEXPECTED PROMPTS... IE ERROR PROMPTS, CAUSING FURTHER
    ERROR PROMPTS...ETC).
    - TO FIX THIS, THE TCLEARQ MACRO IS NOW SUPPORTED IN
      SESSION MANAGER PROCESSING FOR THE SVC94.  PREVIOUSLY,
      THE TCLEARQ WAS BEING IGNORED IF IN SESSION MANAGER MODE.
      THIS IS WITHIN THE DESIGN OF THE PRODUCT AND IS NOT
      APARABLE.
  *THIS CAUSES THE USER TO NOT BE ABLE TO 'STACK' INPUT TO
  TSO COMMANDS. THE USER CAN STILL STACK COMMANDS, BUT
  AS SOON AS TCLEARQ MACRO IS DONE, TSO READ FOR EXAMPLE,
  THE STACK IS CLEARED.  ANY CLISTS STACKING INPUT MUST
  BE REWRITTEN IN A WAY AS TO NOT STACK THE INPUT.  SE
  INVOLVEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY TO HELP REWRITE THESE.
  11- STATN, STCLEAR, STFSMODE, STLINENO, STTMPMD HAVE BAD
    RETURN CODES (OZ46620)
    - TO FIX THIS THE INTERFACE WITH SVC94 HAS BEEN IMPROVED
      THE FOLLOWING RETURN CODES ARE USED:
    0 = SESSION MANAGER HAS HANDLED THE REQUEST, SVC94 COMPLETE
   -4 = SESSION MANAGER IS STEPPING ASIDE, SVC94 WILL HANDLE
   -8 = SESSION MANAGER IS HANDLING THE REQUEST.
  12- INTEGRITY EXPOSURES (OZ46619)
  13- SESSION MANAGER DOES NOT STEP ASIDE DURING TPUT NOEDIT
    - TPUT NOEDIT PROCESSING ENHANCED TO CORRECT THIS.
  14- TSOOUT STREAM WRAPPING CAUSES ABEND
  15- XA INTEGRITY EXPOSURE (OZ46619)
  16- ABEND RUNNING ON XA - RESUME PSW SET WITH 24 BIT ADDRESS.
  ****** PART 3 SOME FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED 'USER ERRORS' ******
  ***THESE ARE PROBLEMS CAUSED WITHIN THE USER ARENA AND ARE NOT
  APARABLE.
   - BAD SESSION MANAGER SCREEN WHEN FIRST LOGGING ON:
    - SESSION MANAGER EXITS (IKTTMPX1 AND IKTTMPX2) HAVE NOT
      BEEN RELINKED INTO THEIR LOAD MODULES IGC0009C AND IGC0009D
      AFTER MAINTENANCE TO VTAM OR TCAM.
   - BAD SESSION MANAGER/ISPF INTERACTION:
     - ISPF EXITS (ISPSC93 AND ISPSC94) HAVE NOT BEEN RELINKED
       INTO THEIR LOAD MODULES IGC0009C AND IGC0009D AFTER LINK-
       EDIT OF THESE LOAD MODULES.
       FOR EXAMPLE, ISPF OPT6 (OR EQUIVALENT PANEL) ENTERS
       SESSION MANAGER REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS SPECIFIED IN
       THE SESSION MANAGER 'YES/NO' FIELD.
   - BAD SESSION MANAGER INTERACTION WITH OTHER FULL SCREEN
     PROGRAMS:
     - THE PROGRAM DOES NOT USE THE STFSMODE OR STLINENO MACROS
       AS STATED IN THE GUIDELINES FOR FULL SCREEN PROGRAMS IN
       TSO:  GUIDE TO WRITING A TERMINAL MONITOR PROGRAM.
   - OUTPUT FROM MULTIPLE SINGLE-LINE TPUTS ARRIVES IN MIXED
     ORDER:
       THIS IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE SCHEDULING OF SRBS OVER
       WHICH SESSION MANAGER HAS NO CONTROL.
   - HAVING TO 'ENTER' TWICE TO ENTER A COMMAND OR RESPONSE.
     - SESSION MANAGER NOW ISSUES A TGET TO UNLOCK THE KEYBOARD
       FOR TERMINAL INPUT (THE INTERVAL FOR THIS IS SET WITH
       THE CHANGE.TERMINAL CONTROL() COMMAND).  WHEN THE INTERVAL
       EXPIRES, THE TGET IS ISSUED TO UNLOCK THE KEYBOARD AND
       CONTINUE.  THE INTERVAL CAN BE SET TO 999 TO VIRTUALLY
       PREVENT THE UNLOCK UNTIL THE COMMAND IS COMPLETE AND THE
       TGET IS ISSUED FROM THE COMMAND PROCESSOR.
   - SESSION MANAGER ALSO EXPECTS AN INTERRUPT WHEN THE WINDOW
     IS LOCKED.
   - ERASE EOF MUST BE USED TO ENTER A NULL LINE TO THE COMMAND
     PROCESSOR WHEN IN SESSION MANAGER.
   - WHEN EDITING A DATASET WITH SEQUENCE NUMBERS, SESSION MANAGER
     DOES NOT DISPLAY THE SEQUENCE NUMBERS DURING THE PROMPT FOR
     INPUT.  THIS IS DUE TO THE FULLSCREEN TPUT.  THE SEQUENCE
     NUMBERS WILL APPEAR WHEN THE INPUTED LINE IS DISPLAYED.
   - 85/04/23 WHEN IN ISPF OPTION 6 AND SESSION MANAGER = YES
   AFTER COMPLETION OF COMMAND PROCESSING, SESSION MANAGER WILL
   ISSUE MSGADF041I 'ENTER A NULL LINE TO RETURN TO FULL SCREEN
   PROGRAM'.  THIS MEANS THAT ERASE EOF MUST BE ENTERED TO FORCE
   A NULL LINE.  JUST HITTING THE 'ENTER' KEY WITHOUT ERASE EOF
   OR KEYING IN A VALUE WILL NOT WORK.  ALSO, THE OUTSTANDING
   TGET WAS ISSUED BY ISPF AND THE MESSAGE THAT YOU SEE IS ISSUED
   INSTEAD OF THE '***' WHEN SESSION MANAGER = NO.  THE OPERATION
   FOR ADF041I INPUT IS THE SAME AS FOR THE '***' IN OPTION 6.
   ANY TERMINAL INPUT WILL BE IGNORED (TREATED THE SAME AS IF
   THE NULL LINE WERE ENTERED).  THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION AND IS
   NOT APARABLE.
  - WITH PCF INSTALLED, SESSION MANAGER CLISTS ADFHSPLT,
  ADFVSPLT, AND ADFSETUP WILL PRESENT ERRORS WHEN THE
  SEMI-COLON IN THE SMPUT COMMANDS ARE INTERPRETED BY
  PCF AS TSO COMMAND DELIMITERS.  THE SEMI-COLONS IN THE
  SMPUT COMMAND SYNTAX.  IN ORDER TO INTERFACE PROPERLY WHEN
  PCF IS INSTALLED, EITHER UPDATE THE SESSION MANAGER CLISTS
  TO CONTAIN DOUBLE SEMI-COLONS, OR CHANGE THE PCF DELIMITER
  CHARACTER TO OTHER THAN SEMI-COLON.   06/17/85 MMP
  ****** END OF ENTRY ******
  ADDITIONAL COMMENTS WILL BE ADDED AS NEED ARISES.
