Multi-tasking in batch is not generally a problem. However, Batchpipes introduces a new type of multi-tasking where you split workload between 2 jobs as 2 different units of work. How do you get both jobs to behave as an enclave? As for TSO, in the past TSO users would be penalized because of users that implemented multi-tasking. Maybe things have changed but thats something performance sysprogs must address. >Parenthetically, over 20 years ago we worked with a credit card >processor who had a production multitasking application under TSO. You can run a multi-tasking program under TSO but that is not multi-tasking TSO. Default TSO does not multi-task. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
