This has become interesting. There are three people (that I've actually met) outside IBM (well another seems to have exited recently) whose opinion I really respect in these levels that are really far outside my current abilities.
When two of them argue, I pay attention. Both Shane and Ed's position seems correct, but I don't know nearly all the nuances. Where does the stuff CAS9 leaves around anchor? As a Natural/Adabas shop, we run their "global buffer pool" (which will (at this time) require me to allow common user key 8). How/where do I check on it's anchor point. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Shane > Sent: Saturday, December 08, 2007 2:16 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Common Dataspace > > On Fri, 2007-12-07 at 23:38 -0800, Edward Jaffe wrote: > > > It's a CADS.
