The million $ question is why haven't customers jumped on board with PIPEs? Can you replace your performance sysprog with PIPEs? Are you saying UNIT=VIO or in storage VSAM couldn't be used? Are you saying swap out and swap in won't be a problem? Let's pretend your automation product has PIPEs and you find it so easy that you ignore common sense. Do think a system going into panic can survive delays that didn't cause a problem during testing? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
