>What's the SVC99 text unit corresponding to RETAIN? Ha, You caught me there. That will teach me not to check the book... 25.2.2.1 JCL DD Statement Facilities Not Supported by Dynamic Allocation of z/OS MVS Programming: Authorized Assembler Services Guide (Document Number SA22-7608-10) clearly states that the RETAIN specification of the VOLUME keyword cannot be used by DYNALLOC. I guess that means it cannot be used by BPXWDYN or ALLOCATE either... >What interface(s) to SVC99 does Rexx provide other than ALLOCATE and BPXWDYN? I use an assembler routine that I call, giving it the text units I want SVC99 to use.
