VTP 3.5 Starting device reply.


 

Hi!

I'm messing with VS1 6.7 and I tried to install VTP 3.5 to give that a try (I know there's 3.7...but 3.5 seems to have a much more straightforward installation and overall footprint).
I got some problems due to DD statements beyond column 12, and I had to change a STEPCAT DD that complained about missing FGEN73 to FGEN67... but so far, I think I had all jobs, executing all steps, with condition 0 or at least without freaking output.

I added a pair of 3270 displays at 0C8 and 0C9 , as indicated on the README, and re-IPLed the system, which now starts much more automated, and, well.... looks good!

However, I'm unable to put VTP to run:
Either something is wrong with the installation and/or the underlying system, or I'm failing to guess the right answer to VTP startup job:

I have to answer always with a 'CANCEL' reply to end this job.
Otherwise, no matter which CUUs I reply to it (I have tried 0C0 and 0C9) it keeps asking over and over endlessly.

Maybe someone could help interpreting what's going on here: whether the install is messed or what does VTP needs to be told.

Thanks.
Regards.
