FORWARDS

F O R W A R D S

Reopen the next available higher-numbered session

The FORWARDS command reopens the next available higher-numbered session already established at your port. Use the SHOW SESSIONS command to display information about active sessions, including their session numbers.

Notes

The terminal server assigns a number to each session you establish. The server records these session numbers in a rotating list for use by the FORWARDS and BACKWARDS commands. Therefore, when the highest-numbered session is current, using the FORWARDS command reopens the lowest-numbered session. When only one session is active at a port, the FORWARDS command reopens that session.

In a Multisessions environment, the FORWARDS command reopens the next higher- numbered session that does not already appear in a window. See Chapter 5 for more information about how the MULTISESSIONS characteristic affects the FORWARDS command.

If you have defined a Forward Switch character, you can reopen the next available higher-numbered session from within the current session, rather than from the terminal server command interface. See Chapter 2 and the SET PORT command in this chapter for more information about the Forward Switch character.

Syntax

FORWARDS

Abbreviation

F

Example

A user whose current session is session 2 enters the FORWARDS command to reopen session 3. First, the user enters the SHOW SESSIONS command to display all active sessions, and check the number of the current session.


TS3395> show			sessions
Port 11: lynne				Service Mode	Current Session 2
- Session 1: Connected				Interactive	FINANCE.SUN.COM
-	Session	2: Connected		Interactive	PAYROLLVAX
-	Session	3: Connected		Interactive	UNIX.HOST.COM

The display shows that session 2 is current. Now the user reopens session 3.
