Response time is longer for that single TSO user on the 3081 than for CMS doing same type of stuff on a loaded 3033. MVS/XA is copy of the one that <large internal datacenter> is using for their development work. <the large internal datacenter> has gen'ed the TSO logo screen (in big block letters) BAH HUMBUG The only thing slower than the 3081 service processer (5+ seconds to single step one instruction) on the 3081 is possibly MVS/XA TSO. The observation is that TSO is so slow, that you have lots of time to syntax your next input & make sure that there are no mistakes (because if there are ... then things will really be slow). ... snip ... somewhat related to post in this thread http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007t.html#40 Why isn't OMVS command integrated with ISPF? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
