Thanks Dave! We already have production separate from dev separate from a systems sandbox. We have test/dev together, but we've always had that and never found a reason not to. (If we were a larger shop we might.) What is multi-logon TSO? We just a week or two ago had our business partner come in and discuss Sysplex with us, so I hope our SPs will make us "prepared for Sysplex later". And yes, any other advice is appreciated!
