In certain environments, it may just be "security through obscurity". In other cases, it may be a real confidentiality concern. For example, in a service-bureau setting, data set names may contain customer names or acronyms. It makes sense in that context that customers with access to a given system shouldn't be able to easily know who else is on it. -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com/ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
