>The length of granularity is optional based on one's shop's philosophy.
That's what I'm trying to understand. What philisophical basis is there for the granularity smaller than read or write? That's where I'm lost. I've worked in many shops, and the SYSPROGs were responsible for products, not SMP/E functions. They had access to all of them, not restricted to a subset. Everybody in tech support/operations had at least READ, and it was all controlled at the dataset level. The need for more granular control still escapes me. And, unless IBM relents, we'll never know the reasons. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
