Interaction between scripts

Each JET 3270 window can run only run script at a time. If a script initiates a connection and is running when the connection is made, any logon script will be ignored. If the key combination for a script is pressed while another script is running the script is not run and an alarm is sounded.

Interaction between waitfor, send and delay commands

Sometimes data received from the host before a waitfor command is executed can match the text argument an cause the command to complete.

If the waitfor command is preceeded by a send command then data received after the start of execution of the send command can satisfy the command.

If the waitfor command is preceeded by another waitfor command then data received after the data matching the text argument of the first waitfor command can satisfy the second.

If a delay command preceeds the waitfor command data received after the delay can satisfy the waitfor command.
