After rereading the replies I get it now. Please remember I'm an mvs guy tring to pick this up, so when I vary a
device online,to mvs, it is then ready for use. I related the attach as the the vary online ,but (correct me if I'm wrong ) because each user/instance has thier own machine and related devices thos e devices must alloc'ed(linked) to each. So I now need to 'link' the dev to the user to enable the user to access the dev I brought online(attached). Am I close??? Sorry for all the questions and thanks for the replies and understanding.
