Lee, That's correct. ISPF is *not* needed for the RMS component of DFSMS ... the component that supports the z/VM interface to the IBM 3494 Tape Library (ATL or VTS).

I must be getting old, but.... I seem to remember not too long ago a discussion here about installing only the RMS part of DFSMS for 3494 support and *I think* someone said you don't need ISPF for that part of DFSMS. I searched the archives several ways and couldn't find any discussion like that, so I'm asking here... Is it correct? And does anyone else remember that discussion or am I.....?
