Your mistake here is in the words: When I issue the CP ID command I get: ID (IDENTIFY) is a CMS command, not CP. The CP command that gives your userid and node is Q USERID. ID does in fact take it's node data from the SYSTEM NETID file, *if* different from the CP node: 1. THE USER ID

IODF Timestamp in Monitor Data

IODf is z/OS terminology for IO Definition File (I think :) Anyway, it's the same as the IOCDS but managed on z/OS. I don't know how VM could get a timestamp on a z/OS Dataset, but then again, I'm not nearbouts a VM expert. Billy Dixon wrote: Hello, I've been presented this
