automate 'enter to continue' in CL

[ssvec]

We are using a third-party software program that requires the user to 'Press ENTER to end terminal session.'.
We are trying to automate the software by calling it from a CL, using the command

CALL PGM(TDCLNTLIB/STARTSEND)

Is there a way to &quot;send&quot; the <enter> key to end the terminal session that the program uses?

Does it have to be run interactively? I don't think that would happen in batch. Mike Wills

The program runs in a terminal sesson, requiring us to hit enter to get out of it. There is no reason that we can see why they wrote it that way, since the program does not require any user interaction except for that !$@#$! enter key to end it. It is not an interactive program.

I think that is how QSHELL works. Not the program. We have that too on a purchased program we use. I know it doesn't do this in batch. Mike Wills

Have you tried to retrieve the job attributes in your CL and then run the command &quot;ENDJOB&quot; to end the job with *immed?
