No, ISPF statistics are just kept in the member's directory entry, in the "user" area. They are a convention for the use of this area.

You must set up a TSO environment, then set up an ISPF environment under it. I do this, believe it or not, in a UNIX REXX CGI which is run from a Web page. It is not difficult, but it does have some fairly hefty overhead. -- 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.
