Many production jobs fail due to minor JCL errors. The root of that problem is that many shop's change control and security policies prohibit testing such changes prior to promotion.
Other failures are rooted in DASD allocations. We are seeing failures due to telecom issues. Program failure is very rare in our shop. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 2:25 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: User error causes most z/OS production job failures >Hmm.

A (non-technical) user is not at fault due to user-surly software!
