This ran on VS/1, too. It was a CICS package, and the programmers at the shop where I broke into systems work used it heavily. When we converted to MVS, SPM didn't work any more. THe programmers got used to ISPF, but still wanted to look at spool output. I wound up hacking together a CICS transaction from the QUEUE command source to read job output, and it was pretty heavily used until SDSF appeared on the scene - and they they dropped it, fast. The FDP SDSF was the best $2500 a site could spend. -- Jay Maynard, K5ZC http://www.conmicro.cx http://www.tronguy.net (Yes, that's me!) http://jmaynard.livejournal.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
