There are many (more or less popular) issues, which aren't described or are poorly described or the description is spread among many manuals. So, tt is good to have some FAQ. Maybe even IBM documentation will take advantage of it. The only problem I see is someone have to maintain it.

Re: FAQ
How about something like a WIKIPEDIA format - that way everyone can help keep it updated. Mark Hammond -Original Message- I thought the FAQ for us old mainframers was called RTFM?

Re: FAQ
The subject of a FAQ from/for IBM-MAIN or common questions has been posed many times. Outside of the 'technical' issues of hosting/maintaining it I believe the bigger issue would be achieving a consensus on the content of an individual subject. If it could be put together it would probably make a great book (RedBook?) of best practices, hints and tips, etc. -Original Message- R.S.
