Me three! (8-{]} I know how to manage and tune ECKD DASD. I was at an IBM seminar about 20 years ago, and somebody asked about FBA. The IBM'r responded along the lines of: "Why the Hell would you want FBA? If you want FBA, use VM"! I realised, then, that CKD was here to stay. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
