Since CALL statement does not search in ISPLLIB path, I am getting an error "Module not found." I cannot set STEPLIB in my logon procedure. What I do right now is go to READY prompt, use TSOLIB command and then comeback to ISPF and start my application. Is there anyway that I can set my TSO executable library to point to my personal dataset and invoke the ISPF application without going to the READY prompt always?" >> For Mark's response, click: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid595911_tax287555,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=486446 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= BE WARY OF CLASS B AND D PRIVILEGES | Ask the Expert A Search390.com user asked David Boyes, our Linux on the mainframe expert: "I have a VM account USERME, running CMS.

But this triumph of technology was trumped by another technology: 12 hours earlier, USAviation.com posted a report that Edwards decals were being affixed to Kerry's campaign plane, a report that turned out to be more reliable than the New York Post's declaration that Kerry planned to tap Dick Gephardt. The Internet certainly has changed politickin' -- and political reporting -- as we know it.
