What does your manager, SME, Auditor, compliance personell think of this arrangement? There are a lot of exposures to running test programmes against live Production data. Take last night's back-up, or run a regular copy job. If you're running a basic SYSPLEX, multiple image access can be problematic. You set it up to split prod from test. But, you implemented it in half-way measures. It's your shop, and you can do what you want, but I wouldn't want to run that way, or be a customer of a company that ran that way. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
