I myself cannot remember when we installed Communications Server, it was either in OS/390 2.7 or 2.10. I use the same TCPIPROC from release to release, never making a new one. I do not know why we have SEZATCP in the steplib, I am not sure if it was required way back when or what. Maybe I put it in there as a "just to be sure" measure. Who knows. But in either case I know the SMTP proc has it steplibed, and in searching the CS 1.4 Configuration Guide it shows SEZATCP to be steplibed in other procs also. In searching the z/OS Program Directory it shows SEZATCP as APF authorized capable (probably for the steplib issues) and SEZALOAD as LNKLST capable. So I think I will go that route, taking SEZATCP out of the steplib and only having SEZALOAD in the LNKLST. Thanks again to all who have responded.
