I think that they already know that. Not all, we have some very good ones. I only need to worry about the others. But one whiny programmer can ruin an entire week. And I'm not allowed to subaquate them or stuff them down the elevator shaft, despite the fact that it would decrease cost and increase productivity. > > Also, are your backup processes set up, or do you expect your > apps to do it. > If the latter, BING! Wrong answer! Thanks for playing. Yes, DFHSM does back up the application programmer's PDSes. Not data files. We don't have enough hours in the day to backup everything with DFHSM. Many of the programmers don't seem to have the ability to remember how to issue DFHSM commands like HRECOVER. So they whine for us to do it. -- 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.
