True. It depends on what was on the volume. In this case, being that there is a non-zero probability of the IPL LNKLST being on this "offline" volume, I am just too cowardly to try. Our main argument, here, for the z/OS system and against Windows is that z/OS simply does not fail the way that Windows does (local experience, YMMV on Windows reliability). This is just "too dangerous" for me for an ex-IPL volume. Now, for some test volume, sure. I wouldn't mind. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
