That is not correct. ECTG was created specifically to avoid the need for disablement. (Pretty much all other time-related things do need disablement.) Having said that, the correct operands for ECTG are not part of the programming interface. Therefore use of ECTG is intended for the operating system only, and access to ECTG is provided by the TIMEUSED macro (check out its ECT keyword) Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
