Try: M /A3FD,VOL=(SL,WRKC14),USE=PUBLIC <--- note the "slash" In its infinite wisdom, MVS thinks that A3FD is a system esoteric device name. originally, the system only allowed for 3-digit addresses; so, when 4- digit address came around, they conflicted with the existing rules for esoterics. If you want to specify a 4-digit address (anywhere), you need to precede the address with a slash. Also note that you can specify an esoteric device name in place of the address on the mount command; such as: M SYSDA,VOL=(SL,WRKC14),USE=PUBLIC -or- M SYSALLDA,VOL=(SL,WRKC14),USE=PUBLIC __________________________________________________________________ ________________ Yahoo!7: Catch-up on your favourite Channel 7 TV shows easily, legally, and for free at PLUS7. www.tv.yahoo.com.au/plus7 > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
