Peter, Your post contains good generic advice.
For my shared-table subsystem I use two address spaces in order to greatly simplify recovery problems (in a fashion that I imagine you have experience with). Absolute guarantees are almost by definition impossible, but I can in practical terms guarantee that the second (recovery) AS will live as long as I want it to live. In my own experience LOADs with GLOBAL=YES and EOM=YES have been reliable and unproblematic. (As I tried to make clear in a preceding post this experience is with data and not with executables.) -- John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA t. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
