Getting Started
case TEST1, TEST2, ... may all be tried in one connection until the host accepts one, or all possibilities have been tried. In the latter case the same name is sent twice in succession to indicate to the host all names have been tried.
If concurrent 5250 sessions are started before a previous session has negotiated an acceptable device name, it is possible that the two sessions will access the counter simultaneously and not all possible names will be tried by each session. This should not cause a problem unless the separate sessions use different modulo values (for example, session one device name TEST%d4% and session two device name ANOTHER%d100%) or are connecting to different hosts.
Note: There are separate counters for the IBM 3270 and IBM 5250 emulations.
