Jonathan, now that makes sense- Thank you
here is my detailed answer: >> From a quick glance, I cannot see any similar problem in the code for other platforms, so I suspect it is VSE-specific. My guess as well. >> As for question 2, my VSE knowledge is so rusty that it's actually DOS/VS knowledge. The code tests DTFFLG1 for DTFIGNOP to test whether it's assigned IGN, but I don't know to assign something other than a logical unit as IGN. Perhaps the developer copied code for other files without noticing this limitation. The developer ment what I did- use the SYSnnn that can be designated for SYSADAT (by doing so and so) and assign it IGN. The flags signal if the SYSnumber is assigned ignore. >> However, I hope that this question should become irrelevant if you can get a fix for the first one. Looks like this is the case. Why would anyone have a DLBL and an EXTENT-card just to use an ASSIGN to IGN it. -- Martin Pi_cap_CPU - all you ever need around MWLC/SCRT/CMT in z/VSE more at http://www.picapcpu.de
