IMHO you should get rid of BCTC. It is obsolete.
As I read somewhere, BCTC was on S/360 machines, and SCTC requires S/370
mode.
BTW: CTC can be on Bus&Tag (both BCTC and SCTC), can be on ESCON.
It also can be on FICON, but only as FCTC, which is AFAIK almost the
same as SCTC (at least for VTAM and XCF).
BCTC is still required if you are running GRS without sysplex.
It was discussed recently.
IMHO it is more proof that IBM "don't like" GRS without XCF (means
sysplex), rather than "IBM treats BCTC as current technology".
ESCON is fading technology, so lack of FICON BCTC suggests the same.
Just my $0.02
