Quite a few years ago, we used steps which issued a WTOR asking for something to be done, and either - even longer ago - real operators then did it, or more recently AOC would issue the command PROVIDED THE JOB ASKING FOR IT WAS ALLOWED TO DO IT and then reply to the WTOR. Generally I discouraged people from coding actual commands in the WTOR text, and made the AOC code NOT execute the arbitrary contents of the WTOR as a command. So we end up with, if you like, plain text requests "PLEASE DO SOMETHING OR OTHER" and translated them into the actual command or commands required. I can't imagine working in a site that would allow any job to issue any arbitrary command! -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
