I'll echo a previous poster, it's not bad. It also has some room to get better and I expect Norm and others are working hard to that end. CA has improved a great deal in recent years :) And hired some of the cream of the crop. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List

Interesting article on the z10 with the quote, an integrated hardware decimal floating-point processor to aid with financial and enterprise resource planning applications. I hope there will be sessions at SHARE in Orlando expanding on the z10 announcement. The article is here:

I have argued for many years that charge-back should *not* include CPU seconds or any other resource measure. Charge back by service. $.50 per transaction. $.20 per policy. $500 per bed per month. I have been making the same argument since 1981. Users should be charged on something

You can call IRRSEQ00 (R_Admin) services within an assembler program to issue RACF commands like LISTDSD and RLIST and you don't need to be APFed for what you want to do. No audit records are cut and no messages to syslog for violations. The command results are sent back into a buffer that you
