But some of the info could be of value. In my case I was tracing FILE entries. It would have been nice to know if the VN_RDWR trace entry was a read or a write and maybe to what file etc.
I doubt my issue was a 'defect' so why would I open a defect ETR just to have someone tell me what I was doing? I would think that IBM would like us to debug our own problems (or at least try) before 'bothering' them with diags. -----Original Message----- Bob Shannon What good is the diagnostic data without the code? So you get a RC of XYZ from a module you never heard of doing an undisclosed function. What would that tell you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
