Thanks, Alan.
I have downloaded the snipl tar from DeveloperWorks.
I have checked the API manual (SB10-7030) and had the HMC configured.
I have signed onto ResourceLink and downloaded all three z990 RPMs for
hwmcaapi.  I cannot determine which are needed. The source RPM contains
only 32bit libraries and the s390x.rpm doesn't contain a 64bit library
but creates a broken symbolic link.  Snipl has a 64bit binary.
My second problem is that I cannot determine how to create the
libsniplapi.so library.  The sniplapi.c file is available during the
make and make install.
Has anyone "out there" done this and would be willing to help me?
Betsie

The libraries and sample code are available from IBM Resource Link.

To access these on IBM Resource Link, use the following steps.

o Go to http://www.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink
o Sign on to resource link (you can request a userid if you do not
already
have one)
o Click the "Services" link on the left
o Click the "API" link under mainframe
