However, when I try to do this CICS starts multiple copies of the started transaction. The started transaction does not have a terminal related to it. So I guess my question is can I do multiple starts on the same transaction and have CICS only start one copy of that transaction or should I be using a Transient Data Queue?" >> For Phil's response, click: http://www.search390.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid592243_tax296993,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=484619 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= BINDING TO THE PROPER SUBSYSTEM | Ask the Expert A Search390.com user asked Craig Mullins, our DB2 and database management expert: "I have a question regarding DB2 systems and the use of subsystems ... We recently developed a new database in the TEST0B subsystem. I noticed that the TEST01 subsystem was looking at the TEST0B. I was told the bind dictates the subsystem you are looking at, but that it is stored at the system level. If I want to test the same program in both TEST01 and TEST0B, does the last bind of the program dictate where it is pointing? Will there need to be two separate DB2 systems to accomplish this?" >> For Craig's response, click: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid591691_tax293066,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=484619 ____________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= :::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= POLL | Grid computing and your company What is your position on grid computing? >> To take the poll, click here: http://search390.techtarget.com/?track=NL-170&ad=484619#poll =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEATURED WHITE PAPER | z/OS migration workbook: Table of contents This workbook consolidates all relevant information into a single reference, and will continue to be updated.

According to published reports in Australia, Microsoft is translating "The Illiad" into text -- as in text messages. So far Microsoft has trimmed 37,000 words into 32 lines ("Helen went 2 watch from da walls"), complete with smiley face icons. It's like CliffsNotes for people who don't have the attention span for CliffsNotes or the time to sit through "Troy."
