Sample APPL Statement in Worksheet Produced by Mainframe APPC/LU6.2 Wizard is Inaccurate

• Microsoft COM Transaction Integrator for CICS and IMS, version 4.0 SP2
• Microsoft SNA Server, version 4.0SP2

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Mainframe APPC/LU6.2 Wizard, a worksheet for independent LU6.2 for CICS (2 of 2) can be produced that contains, among other things, an example of a Virtual Telecommunications Access Method (VTAM) 'APPL' statement for a Customer Information Control System (CICS) region on the host. The statement, shown below, contains a number of inaccuracies.

VTAM APPL Parameters for CICS:

		VBUILD  TYPE=APPL		
-->	REMTLU	APPL	AUTH=(ACQ, VPACE, PASS),
			EAS=20
			SONSCIP=YES,
			PARSESS=YES,		
			VPACING=0
                	MODETAB=MSMODE,   
           		DLOGMODE=INDMODE, 

• The DLOGMODE parameter is not spelled correctly. Change the spelling to "DLOGMOD" or remove the statement. Also remove the appended comma because this is the last statement in the sequence.
  
  NOTE: DLOGMOD is not required for COMTI.



• No comma is necessary on the last line. If the DLOGMODE line is removed, also remove the comma from the MODETAB line.



• Add commas to the EAS=20 line and the VPACING=0 line.



• There should be no spaces between arguments in the line AUTH=(ACQ, VPACE, PASS).

RESOLUTION

The following is a suggested statement that is accurate.

		VBUILD  TYPE=APPL		
-->	REMTLU	APPL	AUTH=(ACQ,VPACE,PASS),
			EAS=20,
			SONSCIP=YES,
			PARSESS=YES,		
			VPACING=0,
			MODETAB=MSMODE 

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SNA Server version 4.0, SP2.
