Ted, thanks for the reply. Yea, it is a little big brother. But we have only a half dozen of us in Tech support, to service hundreds of developers. In the Roscoe world, RPF's multiplied like rabbits, and entire applications which they consider "production" have risen from the dust. Problem is that in Roscoe, we let them run stuff automatically when they logon, thereby blurring the lines of what is supported, and what is not. I do not want to have a repeat of that in TSO/ISPF as they start migrating there. I realize applications will get written and used in ISPF, but want to maintain the separation of what is considered "supported" and "un-supported" from our perspective.
I'm certainly not going to go to the extent of writing exits however. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 10:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: protecting ISPF dataset allocations >I don't want them FREEing and reallocating SYSPROC/SYSEXEC to concatenate their own stuff ahead of what we want them to use. Why? Sounds a little like 'Big Brother' to me. I mean, it's your shop, but why not allow them a little flexibility? Whenever somebody has reported a problem with any ISPF construct, we've always asked the first question: "Are you using only the standard concatenations"? If the answer was "Yes", we'd look into it (including verifying that it was the standard). If the answer was "No", then we'd tell them to try it with only the standard libraries. If it recurred, then we'd look into it. - 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 This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
