That's why 'solved' rather than solved. I was talking more about making initiators available for other jobs, rather than having them all tied up and jobs waiting. . . . >You are lucky. Besides trying to link into a source file we've had users >forget to put a member name on an output JCL card and overwrite a PDS into a sequential file and then ask us to fix it for them. Lack of training/skill. Not something an expensive product like MIM should be used to fix. >When we asked where the backup was, they didn't have one.... They should NOT be responsible for backups. YOU should be. SMS has been out for almost 15 years. The purpose of SMS was to move storage management (including backups) out of application programmers's hands to a central location. >Thank God for MIM....
