RE: Test environments

That is correct.. Much safer when testing.. (As long as disk space is not an 
issue)

I am thinking about doing the TT environment.
That way I would get the files and programs.
And be separate from my MM environment.
Correct?

Dan, MM is the default. If you create an MM env. then the libraries are
named as follows... AMALIB, AMFLIB, AMTLIB & AMXLIB
If you were to create a YY env then names are
AMFLIBY, AMFLIBY, AMTLIBY & AMXLIBY....
If you create and MY env.
then AMFLIB, AMXLIB, AMFLIBY & AMTLIBY
The 1st letter is for the Program (AMA) and Install tailor (AMX) libs.
the 2nd is for files (AMF) & data trans (AMT)
Hope this is not to confusing.
Pete

The standard environment designators (MM, MT) are just conventions, correct?
You can set their library lists however you want?

TIA, db
