  Additional Symptoms:

  CEEBINIT - Using LE/370
  

Local fix

• Add a STEPLIB DD card in job APPFTPAJ to point to the
  C RUNTIME libraries:
  //STEPLIB  DD DSN=sedclink,DISP=SHR
  //         DD DSN=sibmlink,DISP=SHR
  This STEPLIB statement is already coded in job APPPTPAJ to
  define APINGD.
  Alternatively, you can add the C RUNTIME libraries in LINKLST.
  Note: If running LE/370, DSN=sceerun

  * USERS AFFECTED: All APPC Application Suite AFTP users.       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: ABEND 806 after attempting to connect   *
  *                      to a server within the AFTP command     *
  *                      environment.                            *

  ****************************************************************
  The sample JCL file (APPFTPAJ) which issues the TPADD to
  APPC/MVS for the AFTP server is missing the STEPLIB statements
  which include the location of the C Runtime libraries.
  

Problem conclusion

• Sample JCL file APPFTPAJ was modified to include the STEPLIB
  statements needed to specify the location of the C Runtime
  libraries.
  
  Sample JCL file APPZMSCJ was modified to include
  comments clarifying what needs to be changed before it is
  submitted.
