I am weird and actually like some UNIX stuff. I keep some of my JCL in UNIX files. But it is often difficult to know when I've hit column 73. That's because I use a very wide screen. Of course, this also would help people who keep JCL on a non-z/OS platform and use ftp to submit jobs. They would find this very useful as well. > > I'm sure that there are many other features that would make JCL even > more user friendly. > > Don Williams -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
