Q:

How do we use a VTAM Generic Resource for VVP? We also need to pass the VTAM APPL via the PARM field at startup so we can use &SYSCLONE to specify a specific APPLID per SYSTEM.


A:

After fix VVP 2.0.62 is applied, you can specify the VTAM APPLID using the JCL PARM= parameter. Use the JCL PARM= parameter plus the &SYSCLONE system parameter to configure the VVP APPLID name for a SYSPLEX environment.  For example, PARM=VVP and &SYSCLONE=30 causes VVP to open APPLID VVP30.
