I disagree. The price ($60K USD) doesn't seem unreasonable since it snips itself in automatically -- no JCL changes needed. That is very much UNlike the earlier IBM product, which not only needs JCL changes but in many cases requires extra steps to be inserted. (To me a minor JCL change like, say, adding "SUBSYS=USPY" to a DD statement is less work/trouble than adding new steps to the same job. Others may disagree.) Whether the automatic inclusion thingy actually works all of the time is another matter, but software bugs like that would usually get worked out fairly quickly. Based upon Mr. Salt's dissertation of a few days back (and Mr. Mills' comments afterward) I would think that $60K is an introductory price. -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
