(Tiring of people arguing in circles and getting nowhere) Let's take a poll. Suppose for the sake of argument that I had in my posession a set of system modifications which allowed specification of EXTPARM, which let you specify program parms of up to 32767 characters in length, and that you could obtain this modification for a small fee. Who would be interested in using it? Who would refuse to use it?
What if you could specify in your parmlib the list of programs which could be invoked with this parameter? Would you use it then? After all, aren't we really talking about a limited number of potential uses at any given site? Take it a step further. Suppose IBM supplied this capability with the next z/OS release. Also suppose that you could enable or disable the functionality via a parmlib value as well as specify the programs that were eligible for use. Would you be interested then? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
