again stating if the newer people are not looking at the JCL, they are

it works, submit and max return code 0 are all they believe they

much more than this. I have my own issues with Serverpac and post

I had herd that as well. Of course the first day of education for
SERV PAC the instructor said something to the effect that "somebody"
wanted the servpac done so any application type could do it.
I was flabbergasted when I heard that. I laughed out loud. I did get
a few looks as apparently there were some of those "types" in the
class. It took maybe an hour after the class started to figure out
who they were. They were totally lost by noon of the first day
except for one and he was dazed and confused.
