Lawrence, There is a guide, a redbook, which was comprehensive in its day. However that "day" was sometime in 1994. Nevertheless, you may find some of the products covered are more-or-less unchanged, for example, CICS and APPC/MVS, and principles are always sound; I would expect, for example that what you find in OS/2 is recognisable in today's HIS.
http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/abstracts/gg244485.html?Open Let us know how you get on. To answer your second post: on z/OS, APING is a VTAM command (as well as being part of the APPC Application Suite, a component of Communications Server). On OS/2 one needed to keep a diskette handy with APING and APINGD on it so that you could set it up when necessary. Why not ask on microsoft.public.hisserver.general about where APING can be found? It's the sort of thing that should be "downloadable". Well, I tried Google and found http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/his/htm/_sna_aping_and_apingd_cpic.asp This shows that APING and APINGD exist but checking around in the manual, it seems you need to build them. Probably not a problem for you since you were/are planning to build some APPC applications anyhow.
