That I don't remember, but you could be correct. OTOH, there certainly were ways to build your own stuff into SSX, though AFAIK IBM only told ISV's about it. I was charged with integrating our product into the SSX installation and support methodology, and it really was an interesting project to do. Horribly slow because the 4331 was really, really slow, but it did the job. Eventually... :) ICCF itself of course was available on all of the VSE's that I worked on. ISTR ICCF V1 even ran under DOS/VS, but ICBW. It wasn't ISPF, but compared to punching cards on an 029 or 129 it was a pretty good tool. Then again, IMHO ISPF is TSO's attempt at XEDIT... and not a very good one either... :) Peter This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
