LOL cool, that is the one that I put down on my christmas list. One must be prepared when starting a new job on a new platform.

BTW... If any of you out there are looking for a good book on SAS Indexes, befor too much longer our very own Mikeeeeeeeee.... Raithel will have his book out. If it is as good as his popular "Tuning SAS on the z/OS" second edition then it ought to be a must have...

Thanks Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....................
