Yes, it was Sterling Labs before Sterling Software. I first started working with it directly in 1987. It took them several releases to 'sanitize', but as of 11, there are still three Sterling references in the loadlib. We use the archive/auto-restore, backup management both SMS and non-SMS, automated PDS maintenance, VSAM analysis and tuning, 'discovery' of overage empty datasets, overallocation management, etc.
