Yea! Like the time under OS/VS1 that I compressed SYS1.LINKLIB using IEBCOPY. So much for __that__ system! Luckily for me, this shop had two 370/145's running the same version of the OS, so that I could use the 2nd system to recover SYS1.LINKLIB of the 1st one. This was when I was first in the business around 1979. Or, more recently, so of the problems that we've been having going from 1.6 to 1.8 (messed up the APF list and CAS9 failed - not a good thing since our IPL is automated). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
