I don't know how to answer the TCB question; My z/OS colleague says "six usually". It's a single-threaded application that reads a file, does some stuff to it (encrypts some of it), then writes it back out. Nothing fancy. If it did have multiple CPUs, then I could see wall-clock being less than total CPU. But the total at the bottom shouldn't be less than one of the steps anyway, should it? ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
