Thanks for the quick and informative response. I will look into your suggestions. I am a little leery about putting TSO above hot batch as well. Part of the problem is that the operators pretty much open the flood gates at about 10 pm and let all the batch compete. That is a whole different battle that we have discussed on a fairly regular basis with operations but nothing has changed. I know the REAL answer is to deal with the lack of resources this habit creates but, for the short term, I just want to make sure that a programmer that gets called to fix a problem can actually get logged on and do something.
Thanks again for your help.
