Re: Question for old-timers
I expect to be leaving, at least from full time work, sometime in August. I do expect to work part time from home, since I hardly ever have to touch the real computer, so I'm not going to be quite retired. I love being a VM sysprog and don't want to just logoff one day and never see a VM logo again. I couldn't take the withdrawal.

No worries, Jim... I have plenty of time to enjoy the fun. Jim Bohnsack wrote: Thanks everyone who responded. The 2821 is the winner.

Re: Question for old-timers
Jim,
Is your VM printer printing through RSCS ?
You could have JES send the output to RSCS for printing.
of course you have to have RSCS talking to your 2nd lvl system
