I'm sure this has been asked and answered somewhere in the dusty archives of this list, but I honestly couldn't figure out a way to formulate a search for it that would return mostly useful information....
Does anyone know the historical/technical reason for some products, (at our shop CA-Datacom and possibly SAS SHARe) requiring you to START a task, to STOP their started task? I know it's ridiculous of me but it drives me nuts to have to start something when I want to stop something else. I've written code of my own which handles the STOP and MODIFY commands, so I know that it's not extremely difficult; it's pretty well documented in the manuals too if I recall. I wrote the code years ago, so it's not like the ability just became available, either. So - anyone know why this particular technique is used? Is there some technical reason for it? Thanks for any and all information and/or entertainment your answers will provide... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
