Hi,
I would like to set up a z/OS 1.6 PC that uses MVS-FTP as the application. I
do not want any device statements or any UNIX FTP. I would like to hard code
all the TCP JCL Procs so that the search order is known. Needless to say I
am having trouble. The documentation is very sketchy. The doc in the
configuration reference always seems to hint that you can do this but is
quite sporadic.
Has anyone set up a loopback 127.0.0.1 system to use an FTP server running
on z/OS without USS with no device or link statements?
Are you able to point me to the steps needed to undo the pieces and get the
loopback to accept data from an FTP client?

IBM's TCP/IP requires Unix System Services. Since FTP requires TCP/IP,
unless you are running another vendors IP stack, you need Unix System
Services. I am also 99% sure that IBM's FTP server requires Unix System
Services.
Now I do beleive you can run TCP/IP with just the loopback address, but
I am not sure why you would, this means that you can't talk to z/OS
using TCP/IP from an external box, say like your desktop PC.
Which search order are you talking about? Host name resolution or do
you mean file search order for parameters?
