Okay. I guess it makes sense. Even in 1981, we had standards that required all datasets to be catalogued (except the obvious ones such as SPOOL and duplicate RES vols). So, I cannot remember the last time I used non-catalogued. I guess no day is a waste if you've learned something. And, I thought I already knew how to make JCL stand up and dance. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
