Arcane rules for line continuation like this, I can live without. Is this also true for continuing DD PATH statements? I can never remember. Every language has its own rules. It would be great if JCL records could extend to 32K and handle both fixed and variable length records. No more line continuation ever! I just don't know if such an enhancement is feasible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
