There is nothing one can do about it, because there is no other way to find out how much connection time you have accumulated. Under VM/XA, one could save the wall clock and CPU time at startup and use this information to calculate connection time and the amount of CPU time used up, unfortunately this doesn't work under VM/SP since the wall clock time will not get reset when you do an ACNT, but the CPU time will. I suppose you could call it a mess :-) Eric
