Interesting. Some of the details are a little odd, shall we say: "z/OS FBA devices are implemented as a new device or control unit type in the Unit Record (UR) class of devices." Wow. A new unit record device. The first in how many years? And "Given that these devices are defined as Unit Record devices, they cannot be shared among users on a single system." Certainly limits usability. I guess you could think of them as really high-speed card reader/punches. http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.ieaa800/fbadev.htm Mark Post ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
