        Can you elaborate a little?  I see that we do have this
installed, but can find next to nothing about this LICPGM at the IBM
site, or anywhere else for that matter.  

Thanks-Terry Richardson

        Make sure you have ObjectConnect (5769SS1 option 22) installed
on both
        systems, then check out the SAVRST commands.  VERY cool.

        Also, I strongly recommend looking at putting in a good change
management
        system, such as Softlanding's TurnOver (which we use), Aldon's
CMS, or the
        one from MKS (mental block time on that one).  They make
managing the source
        and objects much easier, especially in a multiple system
environment.  I've
        been down the "roll your own" route with this stuff - you can
make it work,
        but you'll never have enough time to make it really work well
the way a good
        CMS package does.  At least, I never did.
