Is your target load library a PDS/E or a PDS? I made a quick scan of the binder book and couldn't find anything that said you couldn't use a PDS/E with TEST, but I may have overlooked it. Good Luck

Regards, John K <snip from TSO/E Programming Guide> Symbols within DSECTs are available only if the DSECT name has been defined with the EQUATE subcommand. For example, if NAME is a symbol in a DSECT named DATATBL, then to access the data associated with NAME, you would first have to determine the address to be used as a base address for the DSECT. (This is the address in the register on the assembler USING instruction.) If the address is in register 7, you can enter: equate datatbl 7r% This establishes addressability to the DSECT, allowing the symbol NAME and all other symbols in the DSECT to be accessed using the symbol. </snip>
