We do this today, somewhat. But the 8 character limitation for member names and the 44 characters for DSNs are beginning to "cramp my style". I may bring it up in our staff meeting, if I have time. But I'm likely to get shot down because I'm the only one who actually has some liking for UNIX on the staff. The others view it as a royal PITA. I just implemented a Web page on z/OS which does an ISPF 3.4-like dataset lookup so that non-TSO users can easily see if a file or files exist. We have some people who need to know this because they have a process (PowerExchange) which reads the files, but they need to know when the files are available. In the past, they'd come over here wanting me to do this for them. If anybody is interested, it is on the CBT tape as file 784. http://www.cbttape.org/ftp/upates/CBT784.ZIP -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
