>I avoid PDSE's like the plague. PDSE's were great until IBM decided to support them as non-SMS constructs. They took an (elegant) implementation and screwed it up with dual code-streams and other unnatural acts to force it into that environment.
When they first came out, I used them all the time. But, since 2004, I have converted everything back to PDS. It scares me that IBM is delivering product that requires PDSE's! What's going to happen to the 'Zero Downtime' in z/OS? We have integrity issues with PDSE at least once a month (and, I don't mean management's integrity!). - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
