Thanks guys

Ref: 11.31.30

When the FMC is “on approach”, the following features are available:

• The MCP altitude can be set above the airplane altitude for the missed approach. When the MCP altitude setting is at least 300 feet above the current airplane altitude, VNAV continues to command a descent.

Just like the above reference I am interested in finding out where in the manuals it is written that "IF the MCP is ABOVE the actual altitude, the aircraft WILL descend in V/S".

I know it does! there is no confusion about understanding this (1000 feet was just an example to explain what I wanted to ask).

Since it is a feature, it must be mentioned somewhere like it is for the VNAV case.

Could not find it in the flight management navigation or approach procedures.
