It's not the ability to map SMF data that counts here - for anyone considering doing this in a programming language other than SAS (or indeed replacing ANY commercial SMF analysis product). It's the "intellectual capital" involved in knowing what to do with the data.
So I, personally, wouldn't recommend moving away from products that manipulate the data. Unless you have an issue with their ability to "do the right thing" with the specific SMF data in question. It would seem to me to be moving away from the "folklore" pack and into shark-infested waters on your own. :-) Martin Martin Packer Performance Consultant IBM United Kingdom Ltd +44-20-8832-5167 +44-7802-245-584 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
