You can use the STRCPYSCN command, but you'll be one screen behind the user.

---

When you issue the STRCPYSCN command you have to tell it which job to monitor. Then a message is sent to that screen letting that party know that a STRCPYSCN has been issued and would they like to continue?

It's not something that just goes out there and does it. Which is a bummer sometimes....

Comes in handy for training purposes though.

Lots of ways, depending on exactly what you want to know and exactly what you mean by "real time".

1. Auditing -- user actions can be audited for quite a few things

2. Job logs

3. Job traces

4. Communications traces -- if a true TELNET client is being used, you can even catch keystrokes

5. STRCPYSCN -- either to another display or to an outfile, this requires cooperation of the user and doesn't necessarily give you "real time", but it does show precisely what the user just did, minus keystrokes such as insert/delete, tab, etc. It doesn't show you the response the system sends back until the user presses another command function key (any F-key, , , whatever).

There are probably other things as well built in. But there are also 3rd-party products that go beyond what the system supplies for free.
