VHS Browser Restrictions

Certain restrictions apply when you use VHS Browser within the ViewPoint

environment:

•

Printing is performed using the PATHMON user ID rather than the current user ID.

•

Screens can be written to a terminal, process, or printer, but not to a disk file. (This

is a Pathway restriction.)

•

Spooler output generated by the VHS Browser is owned by the owner of the

Pathway environment.

•

Events generated by the VHS Browser set the EMS token ZEMS-TKN-USERID to

the PATHMON user ID.
