I don't know why anyone would hook Getmain, but frontending PCs is pretty common. I suspect a large shop such as yours has vendor products that already do it. ENQ has provided exit points so that frontending is unnecessary. > A generalized PC hooking facility seems like an invitation to more of what > customers want to see go away IBM has never standardized a way to frontend or "hook" SVCs, but many vendors have figured out how to do it without stepping on each other. When work is moved from SVCs to PCs, vendors need to hook the PCs to provide equivalent function. If vendors stop hooking PCs, the vendor product goes away. Probably not good for either the customer or the vendor.
