We were doing: "PIPE CP DEFINE FCTC 9C00 VMTEST" when it could not be defined
in the directory. Now we do: "SPECIAL 0D85 FCTC VMVTAM"

That is quite an amazing concept, checking code in a security audit.
I could not even make a wild guess as to how many lines of code there are on
my z/VM machine, or where it is all at, or in how many different forms,
Assembler, Cobol, REXX,C .. and on and on.

But it isn't "them" who are going to run it. "They" are (may be)

is something that checks code. That is why I questioned its validity in

Let them run it. The vendor used here had to recode for zVM but they
were willing to do so. They still check a few things (ports being used,
etc.) but they now recognize that the O/S is not unix or linux and they

In the planning manual, there is a note about specifying PARM AUTOLOG on

That is a good question. From the way things were presented, it appears
to be a tool that runs on the server. I have enough work on my plate
that I am going to let this rest until someone brings it up again,

Richard,
How does the tool work? If it's one of those that probes the site from
outside, just let them run it. If it's supposed to run on the system
with the web server, let them try to run it. Whose fault is it that it
won't execute? Not yours. You could even offer to send your files to a

When you detach a dedicated volume, CP re-reads the label on the suspicion

It is not that I want to test the site, it is that a committee has

We use virtual FICON CTC's for z/OS guests, but not for TPF. They work fine
for z/OS.

CP will read the label at IPL time, when a device is detached from a

OK, there has to be a logical explanation for this (and I should probably
know it):
A DASD's label seems to change after attaching then detaching it:

There look to be some interesting talks; how do I find out who's
