If you need any job control language writing I'm your man! It's been a good few years but I'm sure the VMS grey cells are still there under the dust :-) Getting way off topic now, but I once wrote a very large JCL program to monitor and regulate the system, run various jobs, backups, reports etc. I even gave it it's own username space to run in "Marvin". It would monitor and log off idle users and send messages to appropriate people saying printers had run out of paper etc. It got quite chatty with one user one day and they phoned up the I.T. dept asking to speak to Marvin :-) ... the Paranoid Android? Cat(h) Yes, that's the one. I can't remember if the user was phoning to complain about something or to arrange a date with him :-) It is a bit unsettling to remember that I wrote the Marvin software twelve years ago! -- David in Normandy.
