In the past I have used the POST list concept very well and I believe is still
being used today. You need a number of functions to make things easier.
1) An add function to add a pointer to an ECB to be posted to the list
2) A delete function to remove one.
3) The post routine.

Mark,
You are correct -- there is now no option to put the additional lines of
explanation in the SYSLOG/OPERLOG. We reacted to what we heard from the ESP
customers, and to quote you perhaps they "overreacted". That is why I put the
post out here, to hear what other people think.

Brian,
If you are not receiving our Interface Change Notifications (ICNs), then we
need to get that fixed. All of the automation venders that we interacted with
were notified through that process and contacted me as a result.

DFSORT should be allocating as large format. Do you have VIO=YES as your
default. That might be preventing DFSORT from allocating as large format.

Did you specify RECFM as FBA or as FA? The latter is unblocked.

You didn't need to be prescient, just extrapolate long term trends.

Hi Cheryl,
Many jurisidctions have, in the last few years, made putting tapes into the
trash illegal. It is that way where I am. When we dispose of old tape we have
to send it to an eWaste company. We de-installed our last drives capable of
