Notes on Using This Function

  1. The Connect Presentation Space function is affected by the CONLOG/CONPHYS session option.
  2. An EHLLAPI application cannot be connected to multiple presentation spaces concurrently. Calls requiring the Connect Presentation Space function as a prerequisite use the currently connected presentation space. For example, if an application is connected to presentation space A, B, and C in that order, the application must connect to B or A again to issue functions.
  3. Each thread that requests a Connect Presentation Space must have a corresponding Disconnect Presentation Space (2), or one of the threads must issue a Reset System (21), which affects all threads and disconnects any remaining connections.
  4. More than one EHLLAPI application can share a presentation space, if the applications support sharing (that is, if they were developed to work together and if they exhibit predictable behavior) and have compatible read/write access and keyword options as set in the Set Sessions Parameters (9) function. For more information, see Set Session Parameters (9).
  5. Because the Connect Presentation Space and Start Keystroke Intercept (50) functions share common subsystem functions, successful requests by an application to share either of these functions for the same session can affect the request of these two functions by other applications. For example, if application A successfully requests a Connect Presentation Space for a session with Write_Read access and KEY$abcdefgh as the keyword, a request by application B to Connect Presentation Space for a session and Start Keystroke Intercept is successful only if both applications have set compatible read/write options.
  6. You cannot connect to a session that is defined as a logical printer session. Refer to Administrator's Guide and Reference for more information.
