It has the considerable collateral benefit of making legacy data sets available for processing by arbitrary USS commands.
The next thing I'd like to see (but I don't do COBOL) is removal of contrived restrictions on the use of USS files and directories by applications using QSAM/BSAM/BPAM. For example I'd like to be able to use a USS directory as SYSEXEC. The only reason I can't is that Rexx makes a test (only on the first catenand) on DSORG that excludes USS directories. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
