As I recall, IUCV is the improved version of VMCF, where VMCF has
all the SVC functions for Inter-Machine communication, but needs direct
coding by the programmer. IUCV, on the other hand, has support for Cross-
Machine support, being able to send/receive messages between connected
machines. I also remember that both use the same Virtual Machine message
operations and tend to conflict with each other, because each requires
different interrupt parameters which the Virtual Machine uses to invoke
the interrupt routine. I might suggest that you switch to IUCV, being it
is more used by 370 applications for message communication, and in
addition, can receive/send messages to other machines.
