My /tmp is a large TFS, but it wasn't large enough to RECEIVE FROMNETWORK some orders I did for 1.7 maintenance. SMPNTS is on one mod-9 and SMPWKDIR another mod-9. And 5 SMPPTS

I really need to ask for a couple more 3390-3 volumes for SMP/E type work (I have 3 SMPPTS datasets now - I gotta learn to clean those up, but I rarely ACCEPT maintenance). /tmp around here is a very small filesystem. I wouldn't want to use it for some of these files! -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology /ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
