True enough and at the same time non-SMS PDSE support was retrofitted all the way back to OS/390 V2R5. But hardly anyone heard the message; we still get whines from customers when they see a PDSE dataset requirement. Go figure. Its fair to say IBM made a complete mess of PDSE and related functionality and rollout. There were "marketing" reasons behind a fair bit of what went on and we are still living with the fall out. <sigh> CC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
