Hi Patrik

Thanks for confirming what I guessed at, about the CMDDEV menu. It does suggest that IBM have sometimes removed references to obsolete items. Whether to actually remove the items, I don't have direct knowledge of how that is decided. The current effort going on seems driven a lot by security vulnerabilities and requirements - decisions are made by what resources (human and time) are available.

Cheers
Vern

Rob mentioned CRTDEVDKT - we are on 7.3, and I ran GO CMDDEV - CRTDEVDKT was not in that list - the command does still exist on the machine, I was able to prompt it.

Yes, that's what I assume Rob is interested in: Remove stuff that isn't supported in hardware anymore. Lessen clutter. Spring clean. :-)

Patrik, you might run GO CMDDEV on one of your systems, I wonder if was still there at V4 or whatever.

It's there in V4R5, option 7 in that menu.

I wish I had a supported SCSI diskette drive. ;-)
