Everything is working fine except for a vendor product (TEXTDBMS) that is now consuming large amounts of storage and causing the region to go SOS. But, back in the old LE runtime libraries and everything works fine. The vendor product is primarily PL/I, but our shop is mostly COBOL. Are there any run-time options that I may have set incorrectly going from 1.1 to 2.10?" >> For Tom's response, click: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid588876_tax285603,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=484088 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= WHAT ARE STORED PROCEDURES?

More importantly, make sure your computer is super clean and your hard drive is fully clothed. Bank of Ireland CEO Michael Soden quit last week after admitting he looked at adult Web sites on his office computer. It turns out, the people who found the smut (during "routine maintenance") are the same irate IT people Soden outsourced to Hewlett-Packard. Evidently, they didn't want to be HP employees and lose their cool bank perks. Could they have been out to get the CEO? Who knows, but one thing is for certain -- you won't read this in any of HP's outsourcing brochures.
