Yes, it is official IBM software but because it isn't supported by the usual development team and management structure. There are a few IBM pieces of software that are used by many customers but are in this 'grey' area - SCRTTOOL is one, another is the set of tape tools that are downloaded. These are more like the old 'Field-Developed Programs' that you used to be able to purchase.
I think, personally, that SCRTTOOL ought to ship with z/OS and its upgrades ought to be delivered as PTFs and/or new FMIDs. It's an important piece of software to a lot of paying customers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
