No, but that thought and a quick experiment with the results of PARSE EXTERNAL made the problem more obvious: The record format defaults to F 80. So this fixes it: ALLOCATE FILE(SYSTSIN) DATASET(*) RECFM(V) LRECL(2563) 2559 being the longest string I can enter on an 80x32 screen, and the last 4 bytes being split off into a second record for reasons I'm sure one of the myriad TSO books must make excruciatingly explicit. ¬R
