You have an *IBM rep*? <grin> I also wish that the HOLDs file was in a format that could easily be imported into EXCEL so that I could use filtering criteria.

Once that is done, you can then easily do apply's/reporting based on that SOURCEID. My biggest beef with the Website for the SECINT data is not chronologically updated. As in I cannot easily see what the latest reported updates are. I get email saying there are updates, and alas, I just download the ASSIGNS, and if in a maintenance cycle, apply them. I get it that IBM doesn't want to expound on the what's or why's, but it would be nice if there were some middle of the road information besides the coding they give to ascertain if an exposure should be put on NOW, vs get it next maintenance cycle. On the occasional *really bad* ones, our IBM rep actually has called us, and said to put it on NOW. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Engineering david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Richards, Robert B.

Just so we're all clear, I currently have no plans to make this kind of change to SMP/E, but its an idea I've had for a while and I thought it was worth discussing. And BTW your responses were pretty much what I expected. Thanks again, and have a happy and safe New Year.
