Hi, Mike. My own perception (of course, I can be wrong ;-) ) SYSC emules something like a 3215, not a 3270. When opened, SYSG emules a 3270. Depending of definitions on SYSTEM CONFIG, VM needs to send a 3270 screen, not possible on SYSC. Generate some Wait code, as the 1010. Example: IPL xxx LOADPARM SYSC will never be possible, SALIPL needs a 3270 screen. If the reply don't need a screen, only one line, the SYSC can be used, and the ipl continues.

So if it is in most "path"s for z/VM to find a console, why should we ever see PSWs of 1010? Shouldn't z/VM always find the Operating System Messages window as a last resort? (I must have one of my assumptions wrong, because we do see "1010"s). Thanks. "Mike MacIsaac" <mike...@us.ibm.com> (845) 433-7061
