We recycle CICS because our main files are VSAM. It is easier to down the CICS regions, take backups, then restart the regions than to close the files. For a lot of our batch processing, our batch jobs use SYSB-II to do the I/O via CICS. <shrug> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
