UNCONFIRMED errors:


(35)  Figure 3-1;
"MQSeries-CICS OPL Bridge" should be "MQSeries-CICS DPL Bridge".


(36)  Figure 3-2;
The link between Web Server Part 4 and CICS Java application Part 3 is titled 
"IICP".  It should be "IIOP".


{58}  Figure 4-4; 
Under "Error handling," "NACT02" should be changed to "NACT04."
Under "Name Browse," "NACT02" should be changed to "NACT05."


(63)  The 2nd text paragraph states that "you can either use a character 
literal... as we did for FILE above, or you can point to the name of a 
storage area that contains the value you want."  However, the authors 
actually used a storage area: - LF-ACCTFIL.


{67}  Example 5-1 sample code;
IF CA-CRUD-RESP NOT DFHRESP(NORMAL) isn't a valid cobol comparison. Should 
be NOT =.



[218]  example 11-1 account detail screen bms macro definitions;
The surname field is named LNAMED in the macro, but later is referred to as the
SNAMED field.  Pg 227 example 11-4 has SNAMEDL, pg 228 example 11-5 has SNAMEDO,
there may be other differences.

Example 11-3 refers to the fields as SNAMEM..., which is different from the later
SNAMED... references.



{349}  FTP of cicsadp.txt file to host mainframe;
When moving the test data file cicsadp.txt from a PC with the CD-ROM to the 
mainframe system, the following FTP command must be included to create the 
proper sequential file on the mainframe:

	ftp> quote site recfm=fb lrec=383

The "bin fixed 80" command produces a file the repro cannot use to create the 
test VSAM file. 


[349]  Example A-1; Add:

quote site recfm=fb lrecl=80

after bin


(360)  1st paragraph;

Paragraph begins "Dedit", but it should be "Edit"
