I totally agree. That's just how UNIX (all variants) work. > forked() / spawned() UNIX processe run in BPXAS address spaces > and these are STCs started by WLM. This similar to the JES > initiators which are started by JES and are STCs.

I hope my previous reply was sufficient to help this person. As an aside, it is quite normal in the UNIX world to start "long running" work similar to the following: nohup unix-command ..params.. <input.data >standard.output.messages 2>error.messages & I've not tried this on z/OS to see if it works. And on most current UNIX systems, the user is sitting on a X server and running multiple xterms, so they (like a Windows person) just uses another xterm and leaves the "long running" command going. I also tend to do this, except that I may use "screen" to put the command into a "virtual terminal" so that I can disconnect and reconnect it (like you can a VTAM session manager). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
