David, Check the TCP/IP configuration guide for search orders. In the 1.11 level of the manual it is in section 1.2.9.2, called "resolver configuration files". OMVS uses a different search order for the resolver than MVS does. My guess is that is where you have to go in order to check what config(s) you're using in the different environments.

Schlecht Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2013 12:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: NSLOOKUP on MVS vs OMVS Forgive me if this is obvious to everyone but me, but I’m seeing a difference in the way name resolution (resolver) works on MVS and OMVS. In OMVS, a command line ping or dig or nslookup all correctly resolve a domain name. However, issuing the PING or NSLOOKUP command in TSO or PING in batch return unknown host errors. I’ve tried adding the hostname to the /etc/hosts file but it changes nothing. Any idea why they’re different? Any idea on what I’m doing wrong? -David David G.
