Eileen , Chris's comments are certainly valid for native msg automation in NetView. SA may very well pass automation requests from task to task without maintaining the "current message" and may have requirements of variables being set along the way. I would not be surprised if the automation must invoke some SA function which in turn invokes your clist. I have very little exposure to SA. We have is on LPARs that are dedicated to dasd mirroring , and use it only as a platform for running GDPS; we do no actual automation with it. But from what I've seen, any function that is simple in NetView must be enclosed in layers of complexity before SA is willing to touch it. If it looks straightforward, you haven't looked closely enough. :-) In other words, you're right to turn to the SA user's group for help. If you don't define the automation through the administration function there will probably be something missing - something that that wierd separate SA address space needs to keep SA's brain from exploding. Chris, If you like what NetView did to the simplicity of NCCF you'll LOVE SA. The SA "infrastructure" deeply buries any native NetView functions. If you think you have a nice simple way of doing something in NetView, rest assured, SA does it differently. Some time I'll have to say how I really feel about SA rather than spouting these sugar coated half-complements. :-) Pat O'Keefe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
