The z/OS JES spool. But it might be interesting to have similar for VM:Spool, normal VM SPOOL, z/VSE, and others. But that's getting futher afield. Like being able to read z/OS legacy (PS and PDS) datasets directly. Again, to avoid any CPU use in z/OS itself. But security is still an issue on all of these accesses. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
