Have you defined the NETSOL (Network Solicitor) messages?? When the terminal is activated to VTAM it is initially assigned to the network solicitor function within VTAM.? It is to this component that the user will enter which application it is to communicate.? It has been many decades since I have done this.? Some manual would be helpful if you have it.? The details are beyond me at present.? Those have "aged out." ?You should be able to get the network solicitor working even if you have no applications.? That will be your second challenge.

Sir,

Thank you for the information.? I have my DOS/VS as follows:

Highest to Lowest

F1???? Power

F2???? VTAM

F3???? Batch

F4???? Batch

BG??? Batch

This "appears" to work.? VTAM comes up and I can issue commands to it and

get back responses.? So far so good......

Next problem is I can not sign on to VTAM.? I have

devices 080,081,082 defined in my system, hercules, and in my

VTAM lclmaj00 'B" book.? If I perform a d,id=cu080, VTAM responds

with it being active,alloc to =netsol, and other information.? However

when I try and connect to VTAM, the 3270 emulator just sits there.

Hercules shows device 080 connected to my 3270 window.? Can not

get a response form VTAM or it is not getting to VTAM.

Next opportunity..........

Cheers

As I recall having worked as system programmer in a DOS and VM environment in the 1980's, we always had POWER as 1st priority, VTAM as 2nd, CICS as 3rd and finally batch as lowest priority.
The reason behind is that both POWER and VTAM served the other partitions and did not use many resources.
