Thanks Bob for the sample code. I didn't realize how back level I am on MXG :( MXG 22.09 DATED AUG 25, 2004 HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY INITIALIZED.
Like I said, other fish of higher priority. Still SAS 8.1 also. Brad, fortunately, my z9-L03 has three processors, so the pain of capping is only really felt in the development and testing LPARs. I did my time on a uni and I will strongly resist ever going back. I don't want to imagine what WLM stomping on the brakes looks like in your shop.
