I have never been at a production shop that had a need to do them more often than monthly. Maybe some hardware vendors do them daily on a given system, I don't know. So even if you did it once a day, you wouldstill have to be using one of these programs at the same time as the IODF change to have a problem. The person using the program (a sysprog) is likely the one activating the IODF change, which makes it even less likely to be a problem. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
