Hi Folks,
I'm answering John Gilmore's position mostly, although I've read
the entire thread. John presumes that you have to be "safe" at all
costs. My answer is: What's the whole point of this lookup method?
Gilbert himself told it to me. IT'S AUTHORIZATION. You want to be able
to do a complete UCB scan of all real UCB's to get the real-time
information without having to be authorized. That's IT. Beginning and
end. I don't think that IBM provides another way to do it. And STILL
not to be authorized.
Therefore I've tried it for myself, and have somewhat succeeded in
doing some pretty telling demonstrations. Since I'm in the middle of
the project, and I don't know how far it'll go, I don't want to say
anything now. But it's pretty amazing what information you can show, TO
ANY TSO USER, for example.
So that's my point. But I'm a LOT wiser for all of the stuff that
you folks brought up. Thanks much. And if you have any more to say,
I'm pleased to hear it.
All the best of everything to you and yours.......
Sincerely, Sam
