Memorandum
To:           All Comm-Pro ITI NCP/NEO Leased Resources (DIAL=NO) Users at
              the SHIP25 Distribution Level.

Subject:      R_2ACTLUNTFY  (Optional)

Problem
Description:  Enhancements were made to our ACTLU Response logic that
              reduces an unnecessary PIU exchange encountered during VTAM
              resource activation.

              In changing our ACTLU response Control Vector from Power-On
              (connected) to Power-Off (not connected) for the initial
              resource state, we eliminate some unnecessary PIU exchanges
              during resource ACTLU processing for X.25 resources with no
              current device connection. The previous default value of
              Power-On was causing the initial host greeting to be rejected
              (deferred) until the remote resource connected. Now a Notify
              Power-On will be delivered to the host only after the X.25
              user connects. The Power-On will signal the host that the
              device is now able to accept output.

Solution:     Perform the following macro update then rerun your Comm-Pro
              SYSGEN. Additional APAR installation instructions can be found
              in the SHIP25 documentation manual in APPENDIX F (Maintenance).
              Please review the update header comments to identify whether
              UPDATE_A or UPDATE_B should be applied to your environment.
