In the bad old days, if you wanted to change the PPT values which IBM was 
trying to foist on you as bits in the PPT, you had to know which load module, 
IEFSD060, and which CSECT, IEFSDPPT, to "zap". Eventually, IBM took pity on the 
poor put-upon systems programmer and invented the PPT entry of the SCHEDxx 
member so that any change could be performed in a dignified manner!

So that's what the PPT entries in the SCHEDxx member are all about, changing 
the fixed PPT table values where you actually need to make a change - as, for 
example, the EZBTNINI entry in order to "switch off" NC, "non-cancelable", so 
that you can treat your SNA-oriented TELNET server just like you have been 
treating all other servers for the last two decades and put it in the AUTOLOG 
list - and "Agincourt fingers" to what it says on the topic in the 
Configuration Guide!

A problem - some would say "issue" - is described and - almost - totally the 
wrong answer is given!
