There is nothing really remarkable, except the TSO USERMAX is 10, and you have to code up a little front end to run COBOL programs. And it costs only about 10% of full z/os. There are two PARMLIB members IFAPRDxx and IESSYSxx, but that's about it. HTH and good luck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
