I heard that.   What bothers  me is 60% of the machines are on V3R1/V3R2
and IBM does not care.  Maybe they are taking a leaf from Microsoft.

BTW, David G, I have a procedure which calls the ILE CEELOCT routine to
return the time stamp.  Since you cant get microseconds, I optionally
set the microseconds field to show elapsed time from the last call.  The
usage is  EVAL  TIMES = P_TIMESTMP.  Let me know if you want me to post
the code.
