I agree that PDSE is here to stay. Static PDSE has been no problem. The OS required ones fall into this category. The ones being updated often and from different systems/plexes are a different story. These cross-boundary update issues have/still apply to PDS if the rules are not followed (GRS, reserve, etc.). All of the problems that I have had have been traced back to sharing issues. All corrected by developer education.

But, Dave Gibney's point is well taken. You can't run z/OS without PDSE. So, issues or not, PDSE is here to stay. -- Edward E Jaffe Phoenix Software International, Inc 5200 W Century Blvd, Suite 800 Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-338-0400 x318 [email protected] http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
