And I even understand it. <grin> But it would likely be difficult to implement because OEDIT is just an interface to ISPF edit. So the z/OS UNIX version of "oedit" would need to set up an ISPF environment. Which likely means a unique, non-shared, ISPF profile dataset. This is very interesting to think upon. Unfortunately, that is all that I can do because my time is being taken up trying to come up with a plan to split our current single z/OS image into two images (production vs. non-production) while at the same time convincing everybody that the only reasonable way to go is a parallel sysplex, which will cost real money for the CF. Which everybody think can be done and finished in at most a single quarter of next year. -- 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.
