Ignore him Bob - IPCS is the ducks nuts.
Don't get me wrong its "OK" but give me AMDRDMP anyday.
I know there are things you can do in IPCS that its difficult the old
way
There are cases for printing (like when IBM asks for them) I am not
advocating printing a SALONE dump at all.
Generally I have 1-2 times a year when IBM wants to print off something
from a dump and fax it to them. I know you can FTP (and I have done so)
dumps to IBM. But the hassle alone is worth the avoidance, IMO. I had
better uses of my time than sending a dump via FTP to IBM. If they
would make it reasonably painless. I end up spending hours meanwhile I
have people stopping by the desk and asking what the status of this or
that is. Even if I can dedicate a slot of time it is aggravation that
drives me up the wall. ALmost never does a transfer go smoothly (at
least IME). IBM should provide, IMO, a error free (or almost) way of
transmitting dumps.

I couldn't exist (professionally) without IPCS. I hate any "paper form
at"
dumps with a passion - damn all use to me generally. Whilst I
occasionally
kick off some batch IPCS runs, it's for a specific purpose (sometimes
to
overcome a limitation in IPCS), but that's a whole different matter
than
trying to run control block chains on emulated paper.
Ugh !!!
Now Bob, whilst I've got you ear, how about you look at what RMF have
done
with CIM to expose their data. Any plans to provide a service to allow
dump
analysis from outside ISPF ???.
A server that allows me to hit an API and get (XML) data back for
analysis
would be o.k. :o)
