STORE STATUS isn't necessary. MVS has been updated long ago to tell the hardware that it should perform a STORE STATUS as part of the next IPL. IIRC, this was done to solve two problems. 1. Sometimes people forget to do the STORE STATUS. 2. Sometimes the SAD IPL fails and people try again, doing another STORE STATUS and IPL. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
