What a strange mail.

"isn't JCL like our streamfile scripts"  -  Well, that's exactly what it is
and command files, Job Command Language.

"I did not know that you can hire consultants to create scripts for you?" -
Ummm, I assume you can hire consultants to do whatever you want.

At what point did I say I knew nothing MPE.  I've been using it for 13
years, but I've been more on the programming side, so will bow to system
admins who, I'm sure know a lot more about it than me.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire list (every
member that ever joined to this least in last
5 years or so).  Thank you!!! You guys have been the most helpful and
knowledgable people on this earth and stay that way." -

Your welcome :-)

This is very funny!

Every negative comments about HP3000 / MPEiX came from this gentleman (Mr.
Richard Barker) who admits that he really does not know anything about MPE
and he is a consultant writing programs in JCL - WOW! (isn't JCL like our
streamfile scripts, except it is on IBM - I did not know that you can hire
consultants to create scripts for you?  )
I mean, don't get excited Mr. Barker, but our operators (not the
programmers)
do most of the script writing...
In your email, you mentioned couple of well known names in HP industry who
have always tryed their best to help people like you and instead of
thanking,
you are complaining.  Did it ever came to you that maybe you are not
describing the problem completely?   Did it ever came to you that there
might
be more then one problem?  Last time we had similiar problem and we could
not
abort a session (not a job) and we had to shut down the system to get rid of

a session it was DTC port problem.
More I am reading your comments, more I am thinking that you are paid person

from HP/IBM trying to bad mouth HP3000 and MPE.

I did not mean to be rude, but "Obviously this list is biased" did it.
I mean yes, we are biased, but because MPE/iX is the best thing.  Why don't
you go to our search site and search for NT or Windows or Unix and you will
see that this list is knowledgable enough about every operating system there

is out there, but once again, YES, MPE/iX is the BEST of BEST.
Can you find any other list on the planet, where you ask a question and you
get the answers within next 5 minutes and 99% of the time it is the exact
answer you were looking for?
Not knowing what the future will bring, I would like to take this
opportunity
to thank the entire list (every member that ever joined to this least in
last
5 years or so).  Thank you!!! You guys have been the most helpful and
knowledgable people on this earth and stay that way.
