- Hi,
-
- This can be done by sending MVS MODIFY commands to the region
- using the MGCR MACRO (which is documented as being able to only
- send START commands, but in fact you can send any operator
- command, or at least any I've every tried.)
-
- We have a program written in SAS/C that will do this.
-
- Is this what the McKinney software does, or is it more
- sophisticated?
-
- Mike
