Try CBT708. It's on my list of things to do, but I haven't had time... HTH, <snip> This didn't used to be a big deal when we had 24x7 operations support, but those were the days. Now we just have dayshift and swing. We don't have an automation product and cannot purchase any software during these budget times. Our RACF folks have the special attribute and they don't get revoked if they forget their password. Instead this message is posted to the console - ICH301I MAXIMUM PASSWORD ATTEMPTS BY SPECIAL USER userid * nn ICH302D REPLY Y TO ALLOW ANOTHER ATTEMPT OR N TO REVOKE USER userid While the WTOR is posted, nobody else can log on either. Does anyone know of a way to 'automate' a reply to this message without an automation product? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html Notice: This e-mail message and its attachments are the property of Wendy's/Arby's Group Inc. or one of its subsidiaries and may contain confidential or legally privileged information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
