We're not opponents (nor adversaries); we're just trying to understand, and (if possible) help those who really do want it. I've been involved in space/DASD management for over 30 years. And, I HAVE experienced it all! As the technology evolves, the problems should reduce (if not, be totally eliminated) if your storage people are on the ball. >Not to mention that you have to deal with many products that in practice have >a lot of unsatisfying allocations that you NOT have the time to through in >hundreds of scripts or jobs whenever a new version arrives. If you're in applications, why you involved to this level of detail? That's up to Production Support, Change Management, Storage and (most likely) System Programming. You've turned a simple and, as demonstrated, solvable ISPF problem into tilting at the windmill of every space problem in your shop. And, it's NOT even your windmill! - Ted MacNEIL [email protected] Twitter: @TedMacNEIL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
