I have had a vendor send me such a deck. Not only did I have to insert a JOB statement, I also had to modify the DSNs in the CLIST included in the deck. Further, this jobstream contained a few object decks, so the editing was tricky due to having CAPS OFF. The vendor even crowed about how good this method of installation was. The KISS method was lost on them.
Reminds me of one of the great pieces of wisdom (not sure where it came from, lost in the mists of time): user friendly is programmer difficult Too often programmers create user interfaces in a way that is easy to code but the result is putting a lot of burden on the user. -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com z/OS Application development made easier * Our classes include + How things work + Programming examples with realistic applications + Starter / skeleton code + Complete working programs + Useful utilities and subroutines + Tips and techniques ==> Ask about being added to our opt-in list: <== ==> * Early announcement of new courses <== ==> * Early announcement of new techincal papers <== ==> * Early announcement of new promotions <== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
