You apparently missed the part about a completely separate SMP environment. Completely: different CSI including the GLOBAL zone and PTS. It's use that or wait another 3 or 4 months until the MVS folks are ready to do the APPLY. And no, they aren't willing to give me a couple new, empty zones attached to their global zone. Within half a year the MVS folks will have installed the product. Within a few weeks a newly ordered copy of the tapes should arrive for me to do my own clean install. And I have a completely empty set of SMP datasets that I can scratch and reallocate at any time. I saw, and still see, no downside. This looks like the perfect chance reacquaint myself with SMP, and to try something out of the ordinary, but really pretty simple. >>but I don't understand how this happened. > >It happened because you changed things that you didn't understand.

Actually (perhaps givig myself more credit than I deserve) I'd say it was not understanding how SMP treats object vs. load libraries rather than not understanding the difference between the libraries. And I admit that I had forgotten that there even was an LKLIB specification. I definitely need some SMP practice and this looks like the perfect chance. Pat O'Keefe > >-- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
