Michael, I know what you are trying to do, but I don't think it's possible. I think you're going to need to use a real 3270 terminal, not the integrated 3270 console, if you want to run ICKSADSF first level. The SAPL has support for the integrated 3270 console (use a LOADPARM of SYSG), but I don't think that ICKSADSF does. If VM is up, you can logon to a virtual machine running CMS via the integrated 3270 console, spool the virtual punch to the virtual reader, punch IPL ICKDSF, then IPL from the virtual reader. Now you're running ICKDSF stand-alone in a virtual machine. But ICKDSF thinks it is doing I/O to a 3215 console. CP is emulating a 3215 on a 3270, then emulating a 3270 on the integrated 3270 console (which is internally quite different from a real 3270). But when running first level, CP is not there to do the emulations, and I don't think that ICKSADSF has any direct support for the integrated 3270 console, or for the integrated system console (Operating System Messages icon) either. I would love to be proved wrong, though; so if anyone out there can find a way to make it work, please let me know. -- .''`. Stephen Powell : :' : `. `'` `-
