I don't think they could do that. The data that they are working with initially comes out of the production data. Also, some of the actuaries' processes are written in Easytrieve on z/OS, and uses the "massaged" data. At one time, we did do some "duplexing" of specific data items for their data warehouse. But during the "let's kill z/OS" of the near past, a lot of this was "lost". Also, I'm not really in the loop about what data the actuaries are actually asking for. It may be a bit "high level" and "random". What we really need is to have this data in DB2 and allow the actuaries to be able to do DRDA queries against it. But "that costs money!!!" and so will fly about as well as a solid lead brick. After all, why spend money when we can just tell people to work longer hours? > > Kees. > -- If you look around the poker table & don't see an obvious sucker, it's you.
