Treat my question as rhetorical. I see your answer as, "No, but we try to be nice."
Dynamic STEPLIB has been discussed in these fora so often that I suspect it's the subject of numerous RFEs. I suspect there are technical reasons that IBM has not rushed to provide the function. Is the design of OS/360 such that any dynamic STEPLIB would be incomplete or have unintended consequences? So cbttape.org fills the void. WAD. If it breaks you get your money back; no coverage for consequential damages. ISVs with similar conditions: If you don't like it, just cancel your contract. I understand TSO CALL ALLOCATEs a TASKLIB and does an ATTACH. Numerous sites have coded similar for use outside TSO. That works (with side effects) for ATTACH, probably not for LOAD/LINK. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
