Hi Jon,
You said: "...Detaching a "console" requires a "DEFINE CONSOLE" ..."
AFAIK, (since VM R6.0) this statement has never been true.

You're comparing apples and oranges.
(CICS has no native Database portion.)

z/VM has ALWAYS (since VM R6.0.) had the CONSOLE at 009 in the Directory

The CBT Tape is useful for programming techniques, even if the code

No, it should not be withdrawn.
Are you trying to censor it?

It seems as if you're saying that TSOLIB (distributed with z/OS) is
potentially not supported.
Did I misunderstand?
Please explain.

There are not enough weekends in the year to do this more frequently

I worked at a multi--national food company in the early '90s. Their
