Thanks. You are right in that I don't have a CF. TVS is one of my arguments for a CF. We are splitting our single z/OS into two images (prod vs. non-prod). I am really pushing Parallel Sysplex to the max. But a CFL engine on our z9BC supposedly costs US $201,000! OUCH. So I need as much "plus" as possible to sell this to management. Which is difficult since I don't even want to split the z/OS image. I lost that battle. -- 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.
