Sorry, but not 6.0. The code freeze for new function in 6.0 was some time in
late October I think, when it entered Verification. Once there and the
regression testing began, only bugs got fixed until it went to manufacturing and
then to beta customers.
It becomes GA (generally available) on Feb. 25. If your maintenance contract
is current, send a note to swdist@tivoli.com with all the usual information
(customer number, company name, shipping information and personal contact,
phone, and they will send it to you as soon as they can.
My remarks were not meant to hint that this function is under construction, just
that I realize it would be nice to have, nor are you the first person to ask
for it, but it is not in a release plan that I know about at this time. If you
want to emphasize that it should be, then you may call Support and open a formal
request, or make an informal one to netview@tivoli.com.

Thanks James that answers that. Yes the enhancement would be nice.
Is there any way to know what new features will be in 6.0 ?
There are many things I am working on and if there is an eaiser way in
6.0 it would be nice to know.
Thanks much for your help.
