Re: STRTCP

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

I never knew it was there.  What I did know is that within our QSTRUP 
program there is a STRTCP command.  Redundant?

There is, also, an IPL option to start print writers, as well as a 
system value for that.  Even though this value is set to *Yes on our 
backup machine, the print writers do *not* automatically start on it.  
In QSTRUP I check to see which machine is being IPLed (a data area tells 
me whether it's production or backup) and it skips the QWCSWTRS program 
if it is backup even though the system value, as well as the IPL 
options, is set to 'Yes'.

My point is, well, really a puzzlement or query: Would TCP start without 
the STRTCP command in QSTRUP if the IPL option is *Yes?  Based upon my 
reading of Rob's question (i.e., what I thought he didn't say - "Mine's 
starting and there's nothing in my QSTRUP program about it."), I'm 
supposing that's true.  But it obviously isn't true of every IPL option, 
such as the print writers.  Seems a bit inconsistent.
