They do bring a number of good things like large load modules, the
theoretical ability for longer than 8 character names and the ability
to move forward. They also bring the IDIOTIC idea that a library DOES
NOT need to be accessible at IPL time and that access can be
interrupted by a started task abend. This carries on the tradition
started by not being able to use locally attached SNA 3270's as
consoles because locally attached SNA 3270's were only usable through
the started VTAM task.
Clark,
Hmmmm since when can SYS1.LPALIB (or Nucleus or parmlib etc) can be
PDSe's ? They *CANNOT* be last I heard or are you pre-announcing
something? Or did I misread your entry? They can be in the link list
and APF listed but AFAIK they above libraries cannot be PDE's.
