To be safe, I wouldn't even try to "clean room" develop a similar function on any other z/OS system. But I can already think of an interesting project to work on. SQL-like access to "system" information. E.g. SELECT * FROM JES_INPUT_QUEUE; SELECT * FROM JES_OUTPUT_QUEUE; SELECT * FROM JES_INITIATORS; SELECT * FROM JES_RUNNING_JOBS; SELECT * FROM SMF_TYPE6; /* runs against the SYS1.MANx datasets and/or log streams */ That might be "interesting" to work on. Of course, the STC which implements this would use all the various RACF resources needed to subset the information to that which the requestor is allowed. It'd be quite a long project that I'd likely never really get working. > > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
