(Apparently I'm either off where the trains don't run -again- or else the information was viewed by others potentially holding it as 'strategic' and non- shareable. I'd bet on me being off where the trains don't run.) I would have thought that a pure JCL high speed DD-to-DD file connection across LPARs would have been used more often "in the wild". I know (from my days inside) that there was at least some interest/use in socket connections between BatchPipes and AIX boxen (since I wrote an APAR to fix the odd case of a zero-length logical record coming in from AIX; BP supported it after the APAR.) (*shrug*) I guess people are happy writing data to storage, using FTP to ship it from storage to storage via sockets, then reading it back into a program. ALL that FTP I/O is unnecessary overhead. Without BP, to paraphrase Popeye the Sailor, "Well SLOW me down!" -- Tom Schmidt
