I don't know why, but the main CPCS task had to run APF and required that all called programs also come from APF libraries. Even the most ho-hum benign programs. Add to that requirement a corporate security policy against running production jobs from STEPLIB/JOBLIB on the grounds that link list libraries could be 'monitored', but who knew what might live in private libraries. The resulting effect on LNKLSTxx was significant. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
