Mike,
The use of the Integrated 3270 is not limited to the model of use embodied by
z/OS MCS console interaction (e.g. a single line of input) but rather supports
a broader range of the 3270 data stream.
In z/OS terms think about the possibility (not currently available) of having a

Adding defer will only delay the tape mount until OPEN, the drives are still
