He asked about LU6.2 so I answered about LU6.2. Question for Fransiscus: you say "versus LU2." Why versus? In what way are they "rivals" (in your situation)?
Charles P.S. Yes, I know the difference between the two. I have coded lots of VTAM macro code for both. There is no need for others to explain the difference to me - I'm wondering how the OP views the "versus" between them for his particular situation. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Mason Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2006 7:53 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: LU6.2 vs LU2 Fransiscus, Charles has here reminded me to mention APPC/MVS which, in turn, has reminded me I put together a set of files and sample programs in REXX in order to get someone started in APPC/MVS - probably 12 years or so ago now. If that could be useful please let me know and I'll "zip" them up for you. You should get to grips with the manuals I mention below first in order to be sure you can use some undocumented samples. Charles, The VTAM (CS SNA) manuals are all about a very special implementation of LU 6.2 which is a half-way house to a full implementation of the usual APPC API as found, for example, on PC platforms. I have always rationalised the VTAM assembler LU 6.2 interface as designed to separate those LU 6.2 functions which must be performed by the access method from those LU 6.2 functions which can be implemented in the first application layer on top of the access method. Thus the full implementation of APPC in MVS - or whatever is the flavour of the week - is APPC/MVS as documented in the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
