I use whatever will be understood by the audience. Mainly, I use the word REGION because of the REGION= parameter on the JOB and EXEC cards. People can then more easily relate. Yes, I am "dumbing down". Not really my choice, but if I keep the mainframe terminology even a bit complex, then the Windows people use that as ammo for saying nasty things about it, such as "it's too complicated". -- 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.
