I have 2 sessions open and both ended up having the same Session ID: “A”.

• Personal Communications iSeries Access for Windows (old session). Version: 5.7 for Windows
• IBM i Access Client 5250 Emulator (new session). Version: 1.1.9.3

VBA code:

Set aPS = New AutPSTypeLibrary.AutPS
aPS.SetConnectionByName ("A")
aPS.GetText(18, 7, 4)
aPS.SetText "X123", 18, 7

What is happening:
SetText is getting invoked only on new session.
GetText is getting invoked only on old session.

What I tried:

• Session ID only exists in old session: It won’t work at all
• Session ID only exists in new session: It won’t work at all
• Old and new session with same session ID: Get work on old session. Set work on new session.

Note: I recently installed EHLLAPI to connect the Excel VBA and the new session but before this, I had no issue with the old session.

So how can I control it so that the VBA will work correctly even if both sessions have the same name?
