Joel,
We had to recall all our objects because our 3995 optical jukebox was
going off support. I set up the CBROAM00 member as follows;
SETOPT MOUNTWAITTIME(60)
SETOSMC MAXRECALLTASKS(5)
STORAGEGROUP(SGROUP00 RECALLOPTICAL(255))
This performance issue is what was fixed in LE at some point. IBM did
have a well documented option that would make it work like it used to.

Of course, you're entitled to your opinion.
But, not initialising is the worst mistake a programmer can make!

learned about DO
I generally agree. However, IIRC, the PL/I compiler did this type of operation
long ago. And when somebody would specify large buffers, then the compiler
would cause a large paging spike due to initializing a couple of
meg(?) of storage to x'00'.

So far, SAS Institute has declined to put it on the market, although various
beta testers among their customers were very happy
Do you think the MAN files will need to be increased in order to support this
PTF?
I like the idea about having an SMF record to go back and see who did what to
whom, but it might put more stress on a busy PDS/PDSE updating system.

Why? Oracle is not cheaper under z/LINUX.

They're already cheaper under UNIX Windows.
