Alan, Just curious, but does using FCTCs use less MSUs than XCF structures?? Also, I believe you can use the FICON terminators, and loop the FICON back to itself. However, I haven't done it myself, because normally, during installation IBM removes all the FICON terminators. Thanks, Jerry

If you have hardware in sync, but the software. Then you should be able to a software only activate on the LPAR, to bring them back in sync. For hardware sync, you would need the IOCDS hardware token to match the IODF. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of
