> ... CICS "close immediate" situation This really is a red herring.
The CICS CEMT PERFORM SHUT IMMEDIATE is completely IBM code. This is an example of where this is absolutely not a user/application/customer problem. If it is violating some IBM VSAM file rule, it's still an IBM problem and one would think that the IBM VSAM folks would have asked the IBM CICS folks to play by their restrictive rules years and years and years ago - especially, if this is a primary cause of the statistics corruption as Mark claims. -Dave ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
