Remove the dependency between PCOMM path variable and using of MSCAPI in RDz

RDz support using MSCAPI for Host emulator connection since 8.5.1.4 client verison. However this has conflict with the PCOMM (Personal Communication) path enviornment variables (e.g. C:\Program Files\IBM\Personal Communications). The previously recommendation from IBM is to remove this variable to make this work. However in some case we found users still need this variable and therefore conflict will occur.

Please remove such dependency such that both can be co-exist.

Your request is currently inline with our product strategy and we have planned it for a future release of the product. Thank you for your suggestion and continued support.
