I haven't heard that one before, Neale (maybe because I never worked in a VM-VTAM environment, lucky me), but it is laugh out loud funny. Right up there with Ole and Lena. 8-) Worse yet, it's a general SNA issue, not just VM. APPN session setup is even weirder...

It is the same with any VTAM. MVS, VSE, or VM VTAM jumps through the same hoops when establishing a SNA connection. Dave Jones wrote: I haven't heard that one before, Neale (maybe because I never worked in a VM-VTAM environment, lucky me), but it is laugh out loud funny. Neale Ferguson

It seems I can't do what I was hoping for so I've adjusted my code to ftp the file to z/OS and then ftp a batch job to do an IEBGENER. I was hoping to avoid the '2 step' but as that is all I can do right now that is what I'm going to do to move forward. Thanks to all who replied directly or

I am not sure that you were defending VTAM. All of the interesting things that you did were done to overcome deficiencies. That seems quite the opposite of a defense. Richard Schuh On the matter of defense of VTAM, one thing that VTAM (and SNA networking in general) does do well is lend

A word of caution here, I realize it appears the problem is resolved going from z/VM 4.4 and 5.3. However, I can not tell you any change that has been made to Diag X'254' nor RMS that would have magically allowed a target category of VOLSPECIFIC to be honored by the ATL on a mount command. I can

Les, As soon as the 3494 HW folks (once again) permitted the specification of TARGETCAT VOLSPECIFIC on a p2p MOUNT command, I had to revoke/reverse the fix that separated the single MOUNT request into a SET VOLCAT VOLSPECIFIC followed by a MOUNT for the volser. The SET VOLCAT VOLSPECIFIC had
