Absolutely agreed on the CA thing. And they insist it be a tape. I don't know what we'll be doing in a couple years if we achieve the desired tapeless environment.

And he hates getting things on CDs too. He wants physical tapes and printed manuals. The others all agree that printed manuals are vital. Myself? I use Internet delivery for ShopzSeries. I like IBM's Bookmanager and PDFs for documentation. Bookmanager for searching. PDFs for printing portions, if needed. I do not like CA's "Internet delivery". They somehow "encode" a tape into a sequential file (ESD). You get this file on the z/OS system. You then use a CA utility to actually create a tape from this sequential file. The worse of both worlds, IMO. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
