An ambitious programmer could always implement a RYO method. For example, implement SVC screening, intercepting the OPEN SVC to switch the DDNAME field in the DCB/ACB, possibly also invoking dynamic allocation if necessary. IIRC, SVC screening runs as a subsystem, and could be invoked automatically without application code changes. With a little imagination and a stick of chewing gum, almost anything is possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
