They don't wanna. I can't force them. It is now a political thing, not a technical thing. And, in any case, most seem to regard a unused initiator as a reason to submit more jobs, even when the CPU is at 100% and work in crawling. I.e. "If you didn't want the job to be running, then why is there an initiator?" > > >and protecting programmers from linking into their own > source libraries.

In the past, we had programmers allocate SYSLMOD to their source PDS in the link step. This caused, back in the day, the RECFM to be set to U and the BLKSIZE to be messed up, in addition to overlaying the member. The programmers could never seem to understand: (0) that was a STUPID error; (1) they could reset the RECFM, LRECL, and BLKSIZE with a simple IEBGENER (so they would pester us with a "get on this ASAP because I can't work!!!") and (2) the source member was lost (I was not willing to try to recover it). So, with MIM, I could set it up so that if anything tried to OPEN a PDS and change the RECFM/LRECL/BLKSIZE, the OPEN would abend with a U913 and thus protected the programmers from themselves as well as reduce my work load. I think the Binder will refuse to do this now. -- 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.
