Browsing a Binder SYSPRINT, I notice that lines in "*** DATA SET SUMMARY ***" are wrapped after 84 columns (including carriage control), then padded with blanks to 121 characters. Why? What's the rationale for this behavior? Other sections of the same SYSPRINT use all 121 characters. -- gil

(Reposting to the list server.) A while back, when it became obvious that we needed a way to prime a WLM policy for new systems, SYS1.SAMPLIB(IWMINSTL) was born. Maybe you'll find the IWMARIDU program useful in this context, and maybe not...if I recall correctly it uses an ISPF table. (I act
