Deny...JBB7727 has nothing to do with supporting the OSA-ICC.  Suggest you
read "OSA-Express Integrated Console Controller Implementation Guide":

http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246364.pdf

Here are the software requirements:

1.3 Software support
Software requirements to support the OSA-ICC function are listed in this
section. It includes the operating system levels and PTFs when applicable,
as well as TN3270E emulator program support.
z/OS:  Requires z/OS V1R3 or z/OS.e V1R3 and later, with PTF for APAR
OA05738.
HCD:  Requires PTF for APAR OA03689. IOCP requires a PTF for APAR OA06464.
z/VM:  Supported by z/VM V5R1 or z/VM V4R4 with PTF for APAR VM63405.
z/VSE:  Supported by VSE/ESA™ V2.6, VSE/ESA V2.7, and z/VSE V3.1 and later
releases.
TPF:  Supported by TPF V4R1.
TN3270E emulation:  The TN3270E emulation program used in conjunction with
the OSA-ICC must comply with the TN3270E (TN3270 Extensions) protocol (RFC
2355), which allows for the following functions:
- The ability to request that a connection be associated with a specific
  3270 LU or Pool name.
- Access the SNA Bind information. Until it receives the Bind information,
  the session runs at the SSCP-LU level.
- Handling of SNA positive and negative responses.
- Universal support of the 3270 ATTN and SYSREQ keys.
- Support for the emulation of the 328x class of printer.
IBM Personal Communications (PCOMM) V5.0 or later supports these
functions. PCOMM is a component of the IBM Access Client Package for
Multiplatforms program suite.
