Guys, guys, guys:

it's gotta be the *graveyard" operator!!

I've bribed many a night operator in my time to get the requisite number of devices and/or space allocated to get my stuff to run (at the cheaper, off-cycle, CPU rates)

Heinies always worked in college (70's), other "items" in my early productive years (late 70's - 80's), and now, at least here in Calif., fine wines work real well <g>.

Heck, fine wine even works here on the big SAS-l!!

e tu Brute?
