I think with IEFTMS7 it may not require the >HIGHDATE response. But does require the HIGHDATE with the IEFTMS8. Aren't the three messages always issued together? I haven't had to deal with TMS in a long time, but I always found this to be a PITA. Apparently CA hasn't yet realized 1. That it is unusual indeed for an MVS system to be IPLed only 8 days after the last IPL. 2. That all mainframes have a good hardware clock. Perhaps it was a decent sanity check 30 years ago, but today it makes no sense. -- 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
