Is there a check list of parameters that I would need to change to accommodate fewer or no IPLs? Are there control blocks I would need to be concern with?

So if you've got the resources to do parallel testing on new/test/current and resolve the imcompatibilities no problem. Then to monitor storage creep of bleeders and free bleeders might be invoking the name of the unscheduled IPL due to gobbled up storage. RMFPP is pretty good at tendencies, but can't predict new workloads or applications. We had one a couple years back where we thought we had downsized ciriculum tracking to a middleware solution only to find the end-user much preferred the host application for manipulating the numerous feeds/feeder programs so they were up/down/up/down loading complete data base nightly to keep in SYNC. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
