Undocumented? It is well documented in the C/C++ manual. Just not in the UNIX manuals. And the UNIX manuals do not tell you which utilities use fopen() and which use open(). Programs which use open() cannot support the "//dsn" or "//dd:ddn" method of opening MVS "legacy" datasets. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
