What's more interesting, and which I still can't find is any description of how failure allocating any one data set affects allocation of other data sets.
And there's at least one error of fact there: When VOLUME and UNIT Are Coded: When you code VOLUME and UNIT on the DD statement, a JCL error will occur if the problem program attempts to open the data set. In fact, what I observe is "IEC143I 213-04,...". I believe a system ABEND is not synonymous with a JCL error. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
