Anne, Several years ago at a different company, our MVS folks ruled the world and dictated Omegamon. We had trouble getting fixes and they were always months late with support for new releases. The final nail in the coffin was the fact that Omegamon was always the biggest cpu hog on the system. When we started to notice cpu constraints, we turned it off and regained over 25% of a cpu. That may not be the case today, but we switched to ESAMON and ESAWRITE (before there was an ESALPS) and were quite happy with it. It was already in use when I started here and we haven't even considered anything else.
