Tony, We started out in that direction, but found that some vendors products *HAD* to be in the linklst. I refused to put a sys3 dataset in the linkliest PERIOD. One of the reasons was that there would be a plethora of datasets and there was no accounting of who put this where and why. That got stopped after a year. I also didn’t want people that left any dirt they may have left either by accident or on purpose anything in the linklst (I won’t tell you about an incident we had that when the auditors found out they jumped on us up and down to get rid of them. I agreed but they wanted it done today and I said maybe next week as we had something major going in (it was 30+ years ago and I don’t remember details).
