I now cannot find the reference. My question is, if the HIPERSPACE parameters are now ignored, do we need to add more buffers to the original DATA and INDEX buffers, so we don't have shortages or WAITS?" >> To see Phil's response, click here: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid621032_tax296993,00.html?track=NL-168&ad=495023 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FEATURED ARTICLE | Mainframe Mishap: Well earned exits Years ago, Steven Kimball accidentally shut off his company's production CICS system at 10 o'clock in the morning.
