Wendell asks several questions concerning SLT's.. 1. Yes, they can be made with users on-line. Process can be either interactive or in batch. I prefer batch jobs so that terminals are not tied up. 2. Putting additional files on the SLT is, in my opinion, is site and application specific. 3. System and user-volume directories, again in my opinion, belong on backups which are more current and should be done with the ;DIRECTORY option.
