ISVs must be careful that no such productivity enhancement, optional, ISV, CVT, whatever contaminates your testing environment, and do our validation testing in an environment having only the minimum published System Requirements (in addition to testing for compatibility with enhancements plausibly encountered in the customer environment). If we specify model 2 as a minimum requirement, we must test exhaustively on a model 2.

If you don't specify at least 3278-2, the customer has a right to expect support for linemode TSO. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
