All of you Unix-haters, please look away :-) It turns out that the Unix shell has nice variable substitution capabilities, and with our free Co:Z Batch utility (think BPXBATCH without the warts), you can run it to tailor data with variable substitution. Here's Victor's example reworked to do

To me it sounds like a. design flaw, although I haven't kept up with the technical details of the 2107 as well as I should be. Pinned data is not new with the 2107. It's been around since the 3990-3, at least. - Too busy driving to stop for gas!

The main problem is security. How do you keep someone from doing things you really didn't intend them to do? Auditors get kind of upset with utilities that don't have built-in security, and tend to become happy when you point out a interface to the security system, (that you are actually using).
