No CICS/TS 3.1 today, nor likely in the near future. We looked at it, and the screams about the upgrade cost from 1.3 deafened the entire floor. <grin>. We went to 2.3 instead. The only reason that we upgraded at all was to keep support. We don't use any "new fangled" CICS facilities. <cynicism> That's because the z/OS system is an old POS and all "new and useful" functions only exist on Windows. You know, things like Web servers and SOAP and databases. And don't try to tell management otherwise! They don't like it.</cynicism> -- 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.
