Don, While I work for IBM, I am not in the z/OS development team, but here is my personal take. Having 2 API's, one internal, one external has a large number of negative consequences, including increasing maintenance effort, because if there is a defect, both API's have to be investigated, and possibly modified and the increased testing requirements, including ongoing regression testing. Given that resources are tight everywhere, this type of approach seems to have more negatives then positives. ============================================== Wayne Driscoll OMEGAMON DB2 L3 Support/Development wdrisco(at)us(dot)ibm(dot)com ==============================================
