Radoslaw, Having coded in that area and environment, there is no way to get there by accident. You need macros that you only get access to after you have a signed ISV agreement in place, or you would have to do a lot of reverse engineering, which is a big no-no. So there is no way for a user t

Given the hoops that one has to go through to run code on a z/IIP, I doubt you can 'casually' get code to run on one. Also, because any z/IIP processing is SRB mode, there are all those restrictions in addition. Chris Blaicher Technical Architect Software Development Syncsort Incorporated 50 Ti
