Thanks, Wayne. I do have a sandbox LPAR and will be trying it out. then we have a monthly ERO type test and that will be the REAL test because then I'll have the applications and data for them out there. But I will be giving it a shot in the sandbox to see if I can get the area acquired and my region up and running.
Also, thanks to all of you that have taken time to respond. I really do appreciate it. The manuals keep you hoping from one to another then back. Sometimes a person with an understanding of the pieces is just needed to explain it a bit to make it all click into place. Thanks for bearing with me on this one, folks. I will have to say you folks on this list are as good as the CICS list -- well almost... <wink, nudge> THANKS!! Diane M.

Sadly the knowledge transfer of this sort of expertise is disappearing, so I don't think we should issue blanket discouragement to those who express an interest in this sort of learning. =============================================== Wayne Driscoll OMEGAMON DB2 L3 Support/Development wdrisco(AT)us.ibm.com =============================================== From: Bob Shannon <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 03/25/2010 09:59 AM Subject: Re: Subpools - specifically 241 Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> > I was wondering if anyone is using subpool 241 in their processing. > I had an earlier thread about using subpool 241 with a key of 9. > Based on the info I have read and some of you have given me, I'm thinking of trying to still use > subpool 241 but with a key of 0. > I have been trying to find info on how to use the subpools - but it seems like 2 pages in > one manual and then 3 in another.
