Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to using SoftSpy:

SoftSpy cannot be used in a Model 204 online that uses non-swappable, above-the-bar server areas (that is, the value of the SERVNSA parameter is not equal to zero).

SoftSpy and RESPAGE
In version 7.5 (and 7.4) of SoftSpy, FTBL is the only table usable above the bar. You cannot use the RESPAGE parameter, which specifies NTBL and QTBL above-the-bar pages.
SoftSpy and FILEORG X'100', FILEORG X'200' files
Although you can run applications under SoftSpy that use files set to FILEORG X'100' or FILEORG X'200', you cannot use SoftSpy to watch, display, or set fields in those files.
SoftSpy and Model 6 terminals
SoftSpy cannot be used on a Model 6 terminal. Any attempt to use SoftSpy from a Model 6 terminal will be rejected with the following message:
*** SPY.205: Error: SoftSpy may not be used on Model=6 terminals.
