Not to rag on ASG, but that is likely considered "too much bother". Or, being kind, perhaps the customers consider CT, GTF, or a trace dataset to be too much bother to try to find. I know that I am "appalled" at how difficult it is to do an IP packet trace on z/OS compared to running a simple "tcpdump" on Linux. In a similar vein, I still have products, __new products__, which hang a WTOR for operator communications because "it's so easy". Like setting up to do allow a MODIFY is "rocket science"? No way! I first wrote a routine to communicate via a MODIFY in 1977 on OS/VS1, when I was just out of college. It is not difficult. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
