Not me, but I just made a note to myself to look this up when I get to the
office Sunday to install the latest NCP. I'll post the findings.

This one, outside of the wrap question, should be a lot simpler. What you
need is a CLIST to do the processing that fires off an AT command under the
PPO task. Be careful of the PPO-task CLIST restrictions. The only tricky
part is firing off the job to do the processing; for that, you need NetView
R2 or a homebrew command processor to issue an MVS command.

This one's easy. VTAM doesn't allocate a device until it activates it. Since
each non-SNA local device is separate to MVS, this will work fine (providing
IMS will allocate/deallocate it, a factor on which I can provide no
assurance [I'm a CICS bigot :-] ).
