Gerhard, Absolutely right, found the S0C1 but had two other issues .. 1. Must issue a CAMLST uncatalog request for dataset name first 2. Camlst scratch needs the correct parameter list After doing 1 and 2 it worked like a champ. Thanks for the help and I have to think about SMS ... And thx to everyone else Regards, Scott J Ford Software Engineer http://www.identityforge.com

You should not be getting an 0C1, but rather an error message. 1) You may use the same physical CL44 field for all requests, using the same name in the CAMLSTs. 2) SMS data sets are funny; you may only think you have a non-SMS data set? You need to look up the messages and the error codes. I prefer to use a DELETE (non-VSAM) statement with IDCAMS. You may LINK or ATTACH to IDCAMS passing it a SYSIN/SYSPRINT exit list; in the SYSIN exit you return the DELETE statement(s), then end of input. In the SYSPRINT exit, you choose whether to print or ignore the text given to you. It's a little more overhead, but well worthwhile. The information about the exits is in a figure, not the text, so some types of reader don't show it at all. If you want sample code, let me know. Also if the LOCATE returns a MIGRAT as the volume serial, you can use an HDELETE statement to get rid of the data set without a recall. 3) SCRATCH may need an OVRD parameter. 4) The 0C1 at location 52 means that you tried to do an I/O (GET, PUT, etc.) to a closed DCB. Your fragment doesn't show a DCB for SYSPRINT, nor the OPEN and CLOSE statement; and if you have those, you could be missing the DD card.
