Hi Michael,
In your 5250 session, check under the Communication>Configure menu. Confirm that the "Workstation ID" is blank, or click the "Generate" button and confirm that the "Avoid duplicate names" checkboxes are checked. Personally I prefer to just use the "Specify workstation ID" option and keep the workstation ID blank. I never have a problem getting a device name this way. If something has been hardcoded into that field, and the checkboxes are not checked, you will only be able to run a single session.

I am having an issue where I can only sign onto one 5250 session. I checked the system value, QLMTDEVSSN , and it's set to 0 for do not limit. Anyone have any ideas?
