I also like the OUTDISP=(PURGE,HOLD) parameter. What I'd really like is to be able to define an "abend" as "any return code greater than ?". The reason is that something jobs get a non-zero return code but do not abend and their output is purged. I know that the job should just have an "abending" step put in it (at the end?). However, this does not work with a COND= on the JOB card (which we use because we're a bit lazy). -- 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.
