I'm not going to air any dirty laundry but I definitely got the impression that many of the pubs writers would agree with you regarding BookManager. Given how long we were a web deliverable (instead of tied to a z/OS release), ICSF tried very hard to NOT embed any explanations, examples, etc for other products. Instead, we tried to link/point to other pubs where the real experts could describe their own product. The only things related to other products in our pubs were actual samples we shipped (like dataset allocation samples, ICSF started proc, etc) Eric Rossman, CISSP® ICSF Cryptographic Security Development z/OS Enabling Technologies ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
