I still despise VSAM at times. Like right now due to not being able to "share" an open VSAM file across z/OS images. Granted, this is a documented restriction. But our programmers don't really care, they just want VSAM to work the way that __they__ want it to work, not the way it was designed. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
