the only reason to use VIO is to save on DASD MANAGEMENT overhead!
furthermore any <above the average> SMS setup might automatically make the choice ..

Hallo Stevexff,

that is exactly what I want to test.
I have to work with mainframes since january, so I am VERY new to this topic.

I'm looking forward to getting to know more about JCL and all the techniques that one can use on mainframes nowadays.

Thanks for your posts, I'll keep you posted if I find out something interesting - after my vacations - at the end of february.

Kind regards,

Oliver
