1 - Yes. 2 - Yes. 3 - We don't have any consoles defined in the IOCDS/IODF for NIP processing. All NIP stuff is done via the HMC System Console.
For one, we'd like to see the HMC console operate more like the regular consoles. For example, not all WTOR's appear. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of W.
