Hello List

As you might expect, us Hursley folk are heads down (under volcanic ash) working on latest and greatest in CICS technology!

To help us make the right decisions, we'd really appreciate if all you CICS SysPrgs out there could spend what should be no more than 5 to 10 minutes completing a short (10 questions or so) survey about your current CICS storage usage. The kind of questions we are asking are whether or not Storage Protection / Transaction Isolation are active in production environments. Here is a link to the online survey :

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CICSstorage

If you are unable to access the internet, but would still like to help, please mail me off-list and I can send you a PDF form that can be completed on your PC and returned via email.

Many thanks in advance to anybody who can help and I hope to see some of you next week at IMPACT!

Cheers, Andy

Andrew Bates CICS TS Product Line Manager IBM Software Group, Hursley, UK batesan@uk.ibm.com
