Charles:
I would think so, the logic to me is sound..Some LE supported languages do it automatically, I.E. Cobol, I think C or C++ does.. If it doesn't it should for sure. Regards, Scott From: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 12, 2014 10:40 AM To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List I am wondering about another possibility. I have not RTFM yet, but isn't it possible to replace or provide one's own CEESTART? If so one might write a "replacement" CEESTART that was merely a front-end to the IBM CEESTART, and did this check before proceeding on to IBM CEESTART. Such a solution would be fairly universal and could go on the CBT tape.

There *is* a simple way to do it but, IMHO, it is a kludge; add another step to the JCL for the sole purpose of validating the user. Were I a vendor, I would be embarrassed at having to suggest that to a customer instead of fixing the code to produce a reasonable message. Is there an open requirement on this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
