Thank you, John. Our testing scenario did not include a full spool restore. In the future it will! Ray Mrohs U.S. Department of Justice 202-307-6896 -Original Message- From: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 11:45 AM To: IBMVM

Re: Problem moving spool files from z/vm 3.1 to z/vm 5.2 using spxtape

Re: LU 6.2 without a 3745?

Communications Server for Linux, and it sounds pretty sweet. Perhaps I can sell that to the SNA network folks to ease the migration off the 3745s. ;)     Victor   Victor Strasser  [EMAIL PROTECTED] VM, Teradata, and Linux Support Unit California Department of Technology Services Phone: 916-464-4522

LU 6.2 without a 3745?
