You do not indicate the reason for the CNZ005I message. That makes it difficult to answer with any certainty. My best guess is that Netview is issuing the command with a one-byte console id, which is no longer supported with z/OS 1.8. -- snip -- >I discovered some new parameters in the CONSOLxx parmlib member that I >thought would "save" us from upgrading Netview.

You might have to intercept the SVC 34 calls and turn them into MGCREs. Maybe somebody else has a better idea.
