I just tried it with a referenced DSN that wasn't catalogued on DASD, and it worked equally well. And I learned, painfully, that UNIT=AFF is mutex with a NEW DA data set. But it will pick up the unit via VOL=REF. Go figger. Thanks for the suggestion. I had been adding a step with PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(0,LE). But that may be unacceptable in some STCs. And now I can save a step. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------Palm Beach County Schools--------------------- Rated "A" by the Florida Department of Education 2005-2009 -----Home of Florida's first LEED Gold Certified School----- -----------http://www.palmbeachschools.org------------- The District of Palm Beach County is an Equal Education Opportunity Provider and Employer.
