Sorry, but no FREEBEEF. That is not a four byte hexadecimal value. Why 0xDEADBEEF? I think it is "cute". But it might be even more interesting to create an 8 byte hex value to load into a zSeries PSW. Also, 0xDEADBEEF is obvious junk because the instruction address is odd (as in has the low order bit on, not strange, although it is strange as well). -- 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.
