Thanks. The problem stems from the issue that SYSTCPD in the TCPPROC is not being used by RESOLVER. In fact, SYSTCPD in TCPPROC is worthless as it is shipped.
Seems terribly confusing to have this in the sample proc provided by IBM just to find out that it doesn't do anything. We have a solution, or at least a workaround. We'll continue to add SYSTCPD to every job that needs RESOLVER and will someday build an MVS proc for RESOLVER that can use GLOBALTCPDATA. David G.

However, issuing the PING or NSLOOKUP command in TSO or >PING in batch return unknown host errors. A difference in name resolution almost certainly stems from a difference in TCP parameters. Check what's in your batch JCL, your logon proc and your Unix scripts. There has been discussion on IBM-MAIN in the past on the priorities of the various sources for TCP configuration data, and it's documented in the CS manuals. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
