If you run GDPS, depending on your configuration, Shamplex is still "the rage". Regardless, with respect to K systems, the ESM databases are unique. Other Shamplex configurations could of course include a RACF (or other ESM) Plex, making security by system name difficult, at best, at least with RACF. There exists a wide swath of arbitrary (in)conveniences for which, IIRC, the "official" term was Bronzeplex, Art Gutowski ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
