RE: QIBM_QPWFS_FILE_SERV - V6R1 - Fails to call(?)

["Monnier, Gary" <Gary.Monnier@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're welcome John. :)  What a struggle it was to get them to change
their documentation to state profile swaps in exit programs not being
honored the server was their limitation!

We did have some fun didn't we?  I really enjoyed leapfrogging the
competition as much as we did.

Hey Gary - thanks for drudging up that old nightmare! :(

Profile swaps was one of the cooler things we did in exit programs, so  
it was a real pain that the file server didn't support them.  IIRC, we  
decided that it was built as designed, but the design was horribly  
flawed and the time and effort to fix it was not something the IBM  
folks were interested in even looking at.  Too bad - file serving  
applications would benefit mightily from that technology.
