Funny how it's ok for SYSPROGs to cruise Applications and "tell" us what needs to be changed or how to tune our application (when we didn't ask for their opinion), but it's not ok for us to cruise your PARMLIB settings ???? Never heard of a PARMLIB setting getting screwed-up by looking at it. Unbelieveable !!! Another pet-peave, why do companies buy tools, then SYSPROG decides that "only they" get to use it. Example: My customer has purchased CICS/Abend-Aid, but has only configured it for CICS dumps. None of the applicatioin dumps can access it. I asked them "why can't we both use it ??", answer...because none of the applications asked for it. More and more SYSPROGs like to "hide" their stuff, even from viewing. Now the ability to insure that CICS definitions are setup properly is being "hidden" from view. This makes some problems VERY difficult to solve or eliminate possible causes when all you want to do is "view" the definition. If your system security is setup properly, I can see no harm in browsing anything on the system. After all, isn't that how you learn ??
