Re: PTF install questions

Sure!

First off the only two things that separate a controlling subsystem from 
any other are the prestart job to kick off the start up program, and the 
workstation entries (two) to offer a sign on to the console but no other 
devices.  Both very simple things to set up.  So the real answer to your 
question is you can create your own, I usually do and call it ZCTL so it 
falls to the bottom of the WRKACTJOB  list,  - or - you can use the IBM 
supplied subsystem called QCTL.

If interested I can post the commands to roll your own.
