None of those functions requires a coupling facility. We have both XCF and GRS (ring). And our basic sysplex has full PDSE support:

Maybe, but only for PDSESHARING(NORMAL). PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) requires XCF as well as GRS connectivity. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
