We had Windows PCs as consoles for our ICC. All of them were not on the
real network, so no regular Windows updates. Once a month, we took a
long Ethernet cable and connected each console PC to the real network
and updated Windows and then reconnected to the ICC. Not too hard to do.

Sad - I've seen that as well.
During Y2K a number of phones had to be replaced because the display only
showed 2 digits for the year when displaying the date. Go figure the mentality
of those making those decisions (they probably got a kick back for the money
spent).

Yes, an incompetent auditor can cause a lot of damage. However, a good auditor
is a joy forever, and is to be treasured.

Thanks Brian for the sanity check, I'm going to assume the APF entry was
added because my predecessor was not sure, so added it to be safe, this
is now causing headaches for audit issues. removing the entry will check
off an audit to-do for me

At my previous site, they had windows PCs for consoles on a dedicated network
connected to the ICC ports. Since the PCs don't have access to the outside
world, they don't get updates automatically so they don't reboot unexpectedly.
The PC folks just have to connect them to the network for

I have done some extra tests and Mr. Steve Smith was correct, CIBX is not
available to batch jobs until a MODIFY is issued.
Thank you again for your time and support

The macro IEAVM105 describes the various parts of the MDB.
The MDB can be composed of the header, general object, control program object
and message text objects.
The header must be there and the general object is required.
The control program object and text objects are optional.

For our OSA-ICC consoles, we use Visara LX-500 units. These have a TN3270
emulator. OSA-ICC is on a private network with no connection to the
outside world.

There is no real reason that your ICC consoles need to be on the rest of your
network. However, there are people who set it up with a VPN so they can
operate consoles from home.

The alias name is not valid to z/OS processing for APF. It's in the manual
somewhere. The alias name is jsut a catalog construct, it doesn't physically
exist on DISK anywhere.
