Contact the suppliers. > Gil, We used to have an ancient version of CICS that did that. The issue was that it ran the ATMs and the online banking system. If it went down for more than X amount of time (I think it was 15 minutes or an hour?), we were fined by the fed 10K ($ ?). Everyone, including the management, did not want to touch it. We were stuck with this, yet we had to keep the OS current. How do you want to call IBM on an unsupported version of CICS? Ed
