LOL Just restore the file from IBM Archive Manager for z/VM. Oh, wait.... :-) When you license something, the author/inventor retains all control except as provided for in the license agreement or in applicable law. IBM licenses specifically preclude redistributing the software. You are permitted to transfer the software to someone else only as part of a machine sale. (See the IPLA license agreement.) IBM has been known, for things not readily accessible by Development, to explicitly (in writing) give permission for the transfer of software directly from one client to another. In the future, your first stop should be the Support Center. (Yeah, even for something as seemingly simple as a PROFILE EXEC.) Of course, someone could simply *tell* you what the exec does (in abstract terms) and you could type it in. I'm pretty much betting that your version would be better than the one provided by IBM. ;-) 1. Find out how full the A disk is and tell the Operator (who cares how many records?) 2. QUERY RECORDING to find out which type of record you are supposed to collect 3. Use the RETRIEVE command with the appropriate option. (Though I would think that ALL would work since each user ID is only authorized for one type of record.)
