I see. I suppose they also don't have any idea how MVS can run all day long at 100% without causing any problems to the online systems. You're not going to have that overhead for only one day. 0.5% of a $10 Million computer is $50,000. Of course, that ignores software costs and the other things that have been mentioned. To think only of CPU seconds trivializes it. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
