I assume that by "you", you actually mean "the company you work for". I'm not responsible for this stuff. Except, perhaps, to get ICSF working again. Ever since we upgraded from a z800 to a z890, I just can't get it running again. And I followed the book step by step. Actually, we are looking at some software to do encryption on the z890. I don't think that it requires ICSF to be working. But it does use the CPACF hardware. -- 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.
