Starting, stopping, and switching sessions

Start recording as usual, by clicking the Record macro icon on the Macro Manager toolbar. You should start recording in the same session from which you plan to launch the macro when it is completed.

To switch to another session, click the Append recording icon on the Macro Manager toolbar of the session from which you want to record. To switch back to the original session, click the Append recording icon on the Macro Manager toolbar of the original session.

To stop recording at any time, click the Stop recording icon on the Macro Manager toolbar of the same session from which you originally started the recording. For example, if you start recording from a 3270 Display session, and you later continue recording from two other active 3270 Display sessions, then you must stop recording by clicking the Stop recording icon on the original 3270 Display session.

Table 1 summarizes this information about starting, switching sessions, and stopping.
