Thanks Steve. Tech Support can still get to the ready prompt. No others here use TSO TEST.

When they log back on, it will all be fixed up again. After doing this a few times, they will be tired of the pain and stop doing dumb things. OR, they will get real smart and learn how to do it the right way, which is the ingenuity you are trying to encourage, right? And by preventing getting to the "READY" prompt, are you getting in the way of using TSO TEST to be able to diagnose certain problems? After all, you did say these are programmers, and unless you are using some other debugger (such as my favorite, XDC), how do you expect them to interactively diagnose and fix problems?
