o Not to require the programmer to provide resources he doesn't intend to use. o To require the programmer to supply in advance all resources he might potentially use, in order to preclude a failure later in the process. ISPF apparently elects the latter; many programs elect the former e.g. with respect to SYSLIB DD. Fortunately, ISPF doesn't require that a display be available when the programmer intends not to use one. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
