Really? Can I code PARMLIB in Unicode? Can I get z/OS messages to be issued in Unicode? Can I operate the system with a Unicode console? Can I specify input to IBM utilities in Unicode? Can I issue TSO commands in Unicode? I could probably ask many more questions like these. Unless the answer to all of these is "yes", your "absolutely no requirement to use" is false. User data only? Sure. That is considerably more restricted. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
