My barrier is that they are not looking to send or support any 'usable' target database (SQLliet or other relational models) They do not even understand that a "data dump" in no way preserves the relationship between relational tables. It is all "Damn the torpedoes, Dead mainframe ahead" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
