Is this the SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR) and submit lots of jobs trick? Odds are you'd be identified (unless you managed to frame someone!), and you'd not want to do it more than once. A bit like the unending print job. I had one of those running in '94 too, involving VM & MVS (I think there was a third system involved, but I can't recall what it might have been doing). -- Cheers John Summerfield Microsoft's most solid OS: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/ Join the "Linux Support by Small Businesses" list at http://mail.computerdatasafe.com.au/mailman/listinfo/lssb
