I won't comment on the usefulness, and I'll ignore the security questions that others have raised. However, I think that you would have a very large job ahead of you to figure out how to find the DB2 data on your disks, and interpret the internal format of the tables stored in those VSAM data sets. It's one thing to intercept I/O requests as DB2 writes records to DASD and write them to your emulated DASD. It's much harder, I believe, to interpret the data contained within those records and make any sense out of it. Especially with data as complex as DB2 tables. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
