Reasonable. As a security geek, I tend to think of "users" as anyone who has an ID on the mainframe. If a back end pulls information on its own authority, then thousands of users can use it and it's still just one (high-volume) ID. But if, as sometimes happens, the back-end app logs each user on to the mainframe under the user's own ID, I tend to count them even though they're probably unaware of the process.

But I don't count things that connect to a front end that make back end calls to the mainframe as being logged into the mainframe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
