I was going to chip in earlier with my knowledge of VTAMAPPL, but got beaten to it. I've been using VTAMAPPL since working with multiple z/PDT systems, and then copying the module across to z/OS LPARs as required. I've got no idea where the source for VTAMAPPL is, nor of any documentation for it - adaptation of the examples available on z/PDT were sufficient for my purposes. It was only this thread that prompted me take a second look at the VTAMAPPL module, only to see a copyright notice 'eyecatcher'. That was enough for TPTB here to require removal of VTAMAPPL, and so I've changed over to using the COMMAND program that has been mentioned. Cutover took about half a day on my sandbox system - most of that time was taken up with reading the available doc, etc.
One plus point for COMMAND over VTAMAPPL is that COMMAND can respond to console messages. With VTAMAPPL, I had created REXX execs to handle starting and stopping of my IMS region. Those execs are now redundant, and all the commands that are issued are held in single streams for system start and stop.
