It's not that I want him to stay in his safety zone, I was just trying to 
inform him that he did have that option.  I don't have any PATH statements in 
my configuration.

It seems - not unusually of course - that you are looking for the easiest 
solution. This will be true *only* if you can replace your assumed subarea 
ESCON channel-to-channel with a like-for-like connection between the VTAM 
subarea nodes so that the DISPLAY NET,STATIONS command has the same 
output with the "z/10" as with whatever the "z/10" replaced.

You will continue to use subarea PATH statements and "home" and "away" 
CDRMS - possibly along with "liberal" start options - or possibly your 
installation is antediluvian and has CDRSCs whenever there is a "sniff" 
of "cross-domain". It's the dreaded PATH statements that are forcing you 
down that "easy" road.

If this isn't possible, sleeves will need to be rolled up!

Judging from his responses, Scott Rowe - assisted by Allan Staller and to 
some extent by Dave Gibney - seems to want you to stay in the VTAM 
subarea "comfort zone" maybe because he is - and they are - also aware of 
the PATH statement handcuffs but want also to protect you from APPN. Thus 
there is some emphasis on contriving to set up channel-to-channel definitions 
along the lines of my initial suggestion "So my first suggestion is to check 
whether or not there really is no channel-to-channel capability and, if not, 
why not.".

However, if you really cannot manage to repair the damage caused by not 
having planned for a replacement for the ESCON-based connections used by 
the replaced CEC or CECs, you'll need to read - again? - my previous post and 
go the TN3270E "route" or the APPN/Enterprise Extender "route" - or both.
