It seems that Jeff has not realized that Christmas has passed and he is still stuffing our Xmas sock. Maybe this is a good time to ask for a couple of things that I wish we could have in the MPE environment. What the heck, it could not hurt, I'll ask anyway. 1. I'd like for a time stamp to be placed in the $STDLIST of a job every time a job is suspended, resumed or aborted. Said time stamp should also include the information of the process that issued the respective command (jobname,user name, ldev, etc.). I get a number of request each week to find out who and when suspended or aborted a job and many times the programmer that is asking turns out to be the one that issued the command. 2. I'd like a new capability that would allow me to capture any input that is entered by a user on his terminal (while interacting with the CI or another utility). Many of our users are located in remote sites and many times problems that they have, turn out to be bad input on their part. Being able to capture their input would make 'my' job easier. So Jeff, what do you think? May I have 'my gift' at the same time with the HPMSGFENCE enhancement? Regards Paul H. Christidis
