Thanks.   Being that you're at SHARE this week, the story behind why I create 
these 
CLISTs:   Not being a software developer, I really have no need to use back 
level 
IPCS since anything I need to look at matches the system level I'm running (at
least on some of the systems).   But at my first SHARE (NY, 2004) I went to the
IPCS dump reading / lab sessions.  The dumps for the class were made available
for FTP and I wanted other sysprogs at my site to be able to use them and
go though the labs.   However, the dump level matched a level of the OS 
we were just migrating off of and I already knew there was a problem using
those dumps from the new OS after trying to go through the labs.  

Now I just use them out of convenience when I want to look at a dump from
a small LPAR (one that may have few available cycles) at a different OS level.
But even that is rare.  

Regards,

Mark
