>COBOL can be used to play with the various SMF records. That, from experience, I would not recommend.
>Vision (I knew it as DYL280) from CA also has been used as has Easytrieve. DYL is not a bad choice. There used to be an EZTRV-based product called PANAUDIT, but I haven't seen it since 1984, when I worked for a major Canadian insurance company. In security (1981), we had gone from zero to full ACF2, in less than 6 weeks. The sec-ADMINs had no programming experience, so they used the canned reports for the ACF2 SMF records. After I left in 1984, I never saw the tool ever again. I'd guess, from the name, that it came from PANSOFT (sp?), the makers of PANVALET, but don't hold me to it. I don't know if it even exists anymore, and I believe it did more than just ACF2, but since we had SAS, and, as a Capacity/Performance Analyst, I needed more flexibility than a canned report, I didn't really investigate. The only reason I even knew it existed was because I could speak EZTRV and they needed a little customisation. - 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
