Well, that capability isn't that hard -- V/SPOOL (now part of CA-somethingorother-VM:Spool V/SEG-PLUS feature) has a FREEZE capability, and ISTR it was a few lines in the right place in CP to keep the guest from being dispatched. Of course, for IBM to implement such a thing, they would probably (quite correctly) want to make it a much more visible thing, so that customers wouldn't FREEZE a guest, forget about it, and then open a SEV1 because their guest wouldn't run... ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
