VTAM issues a WTOR for an ATCSTRxx member name suffix when starting up when the PROMPT start option is in effect in the always used ATCSTR00 member, as it is by default. You avoid the WTOR by specifying NOPROMPT in the always used ATCSTR00 member - and removing PROMPT if necessary. You may not have an ATCSTR00 member any more because of your activities consolidating your ATCSTRxx members. You will need to recreate the ATCSTR00 member with possibly only NOPROMPT specified. I guess it may be so long since you had your VTAM education that you had forgotten that the order of compiling start options is the following (not including any specified via the WTOR): 1. Whatever is specified in the selected ATCSTRxx member 2. Whatever is specified in the ATCSTR00 member 3. The default values Also, of course, you should ensure that there are no errors in your start options. <quote> PROMPT and NOPROMPT start option (1) PROMPT NOPROMPT Notes: 1 A VTAM operator cannot enter the PROMPT or NOPROMPT start option; it can be coded only in ATCSTR00. The value coded in ATCSTR00 is ignored if start options are entered on the START command or if VTAM finds an error in a start list. Upon finding an error in a start list, VTAM prompts the operator so that the operator can specify the option correctly. Specifies whether VTAM prompts the VTAM operator to enter VTAM start options. PROMPT and NOPROMPT can be coded only in the ATCSTR00 predefined list of start options. You cannot code PROMPT in any other predefined start option list. If you include PROMPT or NOPROMPT in a predefined list other than ATCSTR00, the option will be ignored. If you code NOPROMPT in ATCSTR00, VTAM does not prompt the operator. If NOPROMPT appears in ATCSTR00, you cannot override it by including PROMPT on the START command or in a predefined list. Do not put NOPROMPT in ATCSTR00 unless you are sure that a VTAM operator will never want to change the VTAM start options. Note: If start options are entered with the START command, PROMPT is ignored. </quote> Chris Mason --- > deputybubba wrote > We are playing around trying to make one proc for all systems to use. > We thought we could specify a PARM statement on the VTAM proc, ie. > PARM='LIST=&SYSCLONE.' > This doesn't seem to work, vtam always issues a WTOR looking for a list. > Anyone know how to get around this ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
