I am installing some new hardware on a FICON port, and I would like to
be SURE which port on the FICON card (PCHID) corresponds to which CHPID in
my IODF. So I know I plugged in the right one.
I know that IBM usually provides a CFReport with a new install, and in

Run the STC as a batch JOB.
Just create a JOB statement and invoke it as any other PROC.
This gives you control of MSGCLASS and MSGLEVEL so you can be sure to get
the sysouts in JES, and see any errors

I totally agree with Bob Bridges. It can be boiled down to "all
programming languages do the same things, just in, of ten, slightly
different ways." Learn one, and you have a head start to learning any of
them.
Best thing I learned: Virtually all programs come down to Input, Process,
Output.

My information may be out of date... but as I remember someone, possibly

in a TSO environment, even when run as TSO-Batch.
Has this changed?
