So, hopefully, some future version of HLASM will directly support UNIX files. The BPAM support for UNIX seems to be a bit "lacking". I say this because BPAM does support using all possible hex values as a member name, excluding 8x'FF'. SMP/E uses really weird member names successfully. And you can even browse or edit them from ISPF. Hum, since the name in the message is UPPER CASED, perhaps this particular "problem" is due to HLASM after all. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
