LMPUT requires SYSDSN ENQ EXC, failing to trust PDSE serialization and precluding some use of LM services in multiple jobs. OTOH, within a job LMPUT's design precludes using SPFEDIT ENQ serialization, with risk of data corruption. Has vertical split any advantage over multiple emulator instances (in the UNIX tradition) or a single emulator instance (in the Mac/Windows tradition)? If ISPF were to support multiple windows in a single session (not in any future I foresee) the benefit might be variable pool sharing. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
