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 -

I agree! A few years ago, we were told the z/OS system was going away (as
we are still told), and the PTBs decided to "save money" by eliminating

If someone had taken the few seconds needed to report that deficiency by
the official mechanism, this would have been taken care of long ago.

I suppose I should have double-checked before my previous response.

I too use Dana's MPF2REXX code and use MPF for both auto-responses and
new commands, at least on my z/OS systems. I use TSSO on my OS/390
system. I really appreciate Dana's code. And the help she gave when I
went to use it.

All,
Just to close this, I got a note back from SMP/E support today stating that all
is well even though the ".ROOT.pax.Z" file didn't get created. The gentleman
from SMP/E said that when the RESTORE job runs to build the actual system
datasets, it would recognize that the ROOT.pax.Z file does

There are lots of recruiters out there trying to find mainframe developers for
both direct and contract jobs. Many of them will want to know your
qualifications before they spend much time on you, but I've noticed that many

My mantra is "I don't do hardware.", but I've still been drafted for hardware
tasks. Evenfor a job that is billed as "100% remote", I would be prepared to
come in once in a while for tasks that really are hands on.

And some job boards ignore your profile while generating subjects referring to
your geographical and category preferences. Whether you're looking for a job or
looking for an employee, you have to be prepared for a low s/n ratio.

Seems to me that should be reported as a bug. It's not technically an
enhancement to make the program conform to its documentation.
