All outgoing access is also by IP address. I just recently learned how to get the DNS name resolution working on z/OS as it was a low priority item. Yes, I need to get the z/OS system in our DNS. However, this still does not solve the problem. If I can tell the users to use the "name" instead of the IP address, I could tell them to stop using the old IP address and start using the new as well. The problem is more a communications problem than anything else. And the fact that nobody in the field pays any attention to us <sigh>. I would be my, perhaps unreasonable, hope that if the people kept getting a message every time they did an ftp, they might actually get around to changing before the "drop dead" date. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
