The added benefit of NewERA's product is its other 'DR' capabilities. You can IPL the software and make changes to datasets in and ISPF-Like editor. (Display, edit, copy, print..etc), without an Operating System running. Much like a Standalone zOS one-pack system. It does NOT replace our DR/Recovery processes, but it enhances them.
gabe - Subject: Re: Data Erasure Products There is another one that we have used. It is by NEWERA software and it is, 'DASD FAST ERASE'. It works good as you can do as many passes over the data with different patterns as needed. HTH. Regards, Claude Richbourg Outside of FDRERASE and good old ICKDSF are there any products in the market that can erase data from mainframe DASD? I didn't see anything in the CBT archive for DASD, just some tape erasure programs. * * -- Mark Jacobs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
