Frankly, after 1900 errors, maybe it is time to die anyway. OPEN/PUT/CLOSE for each message is horrendous overhead.
Mr. Farley and Mr. Mills have the most likely answer. I recommend the DCBE (not to be confused with DECB) over FREEPOOL. Note the DCBE can be below the line, but it doesn't have to be. And you really should get used to using it every time. btw, CLOSE MF=(E,OPENPL) works fine if you leave the OPEN parm list undisturbed. sas On Wed, Jul 10, 2019 at 6:02 PM Charles Mills <[email protected]> wrote: > I believe the group has nailed it.
