If you are running SNA IMF/XL, you can use the MPEXLCIP softkey to suspend your Pass Thru session and enter MPE commands. The MPEXLCIP softkey suspends your Pass Thru session and creates an MPE XL command interpreter process. The MPE colon prompt appears on your screen, and you can enter MPE commands.

To use the MPEXLCIP softkey, you must first configure it in the PTCONFIG file. For more information on configuring softkeys and Pass Thru options, see Chapter 2 “Configuring Pass Thru”

To return to your Pass Thru session from the MPE command interpreter, type EXIT at the MPE colon prompt.

When you press the MPEXLCIP softkey, if Pass Thru is not successful in creating the MPE command interpreter process, a warning message will be displayed, and you will be returned to your Pass Thru process.

CAUTION: If a link failure occurs, on the IBM side or the HP side, while your Pass Thru session is suspended, the SNA link product will hang. You must then issue the EXIT command at the MPE colon prompt to allow the SNA link product to resume its shutdown procedure.
