Yup. Good question. If someone ask me your question, I'll be in serious trouble... In fact I have seen all variants of this: - Tell top brass directly by mouth, e-mail, formal letter. - Tell via supervisor/auditor using above methods. - Delegate the trouble to someone else. (really!) - Don't tell anyone. - Resign. Retire. Move to other dept. ...etc... It really helps that we (from top brass to lowest ranks) have a regurlar review of all software used and their levels and PTFS/APARS/patches/license fees/etc. IBM 'n+2' version support helps us a lot. But what about software which are already marked as 'sunset' software, but you are still hanging on them...? Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht 'sunset' - dead vendor or vendor not bothering to update/support it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
