RSEOLVER is your friend. Ditch all of the "local" files and use RESOLVER... Check the IP Config Guide for RESOLVER setup....
HTH, <snip> Forgive me if this is obvious to everyone but me, but I'm seeing a difference in the way name resolution (resolver) works on MVS and OMVS. In OMVS, a command line ping or dig or nslookup all correctly resolve a domain name. However, issuing the PING or NSLOOKUP command in TSO or PING in batch return unknown host errors. I've tried adding the hostname to the /etc/hosts file but it changes nothing. Any idea why they're different? Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? -</snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
