But if the customer chooses to be so imprudent, there's little the ISV can (or should) do to forestall it. Sprinkle in a few NPREs for selected IBM FMIDs? I think not. But, yes, supply tailorable JCL that does not presume installation in z/OS's CSIs.
But is there yet a desire for placing the ISV's TARGET and DLIB zones in CSI(s) separate from the ISV's own GLOBAL zone, or am I misreading between the lines? Does declustering zones into separate CSIs have any effect on the proliferation of SMPTLIBS? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
