And from a production operations point of view, how would you implement job restartability if the PS data set was being updated in place? You can't unless you also implement check pointing the updates. It's probably safer and not too much slower (depending on data size) to apply the necessary changes while copying the data set to a new instance. Simplifies restart a great deal. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
