Agree, or disagree, is irrelevent. If the guys supporting, and writing code for, z/OS say there is no programming interface for users in the system, then there isn't one. z/OS may (or may not) exploit the programming interface (if it exists), but there is NO obligation to externalise it. You may not like it, but that's too bad. If it's not documented, because IBM doesn't want you to use it, nor guarantee consistent results/content, that's their right. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
