Besides this making you do a LOT more work to get to a new maintenance level - there is no benefit that I know of at all? Seems like the Rube Goldberg method of Systems Programming?

In the years in between releases of z/OS, they reorder everything at a higher maintenance level and then do a complete reinstall. Has anyone ever heard of this method for putting on maintenance? Can you see any benefits of this approach? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN We comply with applicable Federal civil rights laws and do not discriminate.
