Should each data set be given a distinct symbolic volser for the customer to tailor, with the possibility of setting some of them equal? Be aware that what seems to you desirable flexibility may seem cumbersome and tedious to a less sophisticated customer.
(Don't take that as entirely rhetoric -- you might be replying at an ideal time for some vendors reading this list to improve their techniques.) Damn! I wish JCL symbols could be defined in terms of other JCL symbols. Damn! I wish JCL symbol substitution could be performed in the body of instream UCLIN. >- DEFINE CLUSTER with no VOLUME parm (loved that one) The vendor may even believe he tested that one, and SMS bailed him out. Do you wish it customizable with a data set by data set granularity which data sets are catalogued and which not? -- 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
