Always looking at the flip-side huh Rick...? <GGG>

As an aside...

This particular situation makes me wonder... How large can some of the "data 
stores" on the "other" platforms grow to and how easy is it to process those 
records?

Yesterday I needed to sort about 46 million SMF records, the same number of 
customer records that were compromised at TJX, but my job ran out of sort-work 
space. Nothing unusual about that except that it took less than 40 minutes of 
wall-clock time to run out of that space, on a Z890-2086-A04. I told my S.O. 
about it last night on the way home and she laughed at how long it would take 
on their "other platforms". Laughed, as in it would still be running at the end 
of the week.

This is NOT to start another bashing... Just a situation of inquiring minds 
want to know.
