Hans, The different dataset names are a WAD. The differing datasets are temporary, allocated dynamically by processes running on your system, and you're listing a volume that's designated in your temp pool. Between the time your rexx reads that dataset list, and then reads it again, these easily could have changed. You're not scanning a static environment.
HTH, Gary Diehl -----Original Message----- Behalf Of Hans Visser Sent: Friday, November 11, 2005 7:28 AM Subject: LMDLIST, strange behaviour or WAD? <snippage> As you can see, this REXX contains 2 identical parts. However, the output differs: DFHSMD.BACK.T203206.SYS3.GOL.J5314 DFHSMD.BACK.T353406.SYS3.GOL.J5314 SYS1.VTOCIX.SYHD99 =================================== SYS1.VTOCIX.SYHD99 I don't understand the difference between the 1st en the 2nd part. Could someone explain why the output differs?
