<quote> Gadi In principle you should be able to get your answer to this question in the following manual: Open Systems Adapter-Express Customer's Guide and Reference http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss? uid=isg2bc4ae2e43bfcf12c85256cee000d1130 It's worth referring to the manual since the folk responsible for the online "bookshelves" have taken it into their heads that no longer should there be a reference to this manual in the z/OS V1R12 OSA/SF bookshelf - "OSA/SF" always being rather an odd way to encompass the set of OSA manuals. This is a shame since if, in desperation, you go back a release from V1R12 to V1R11, you also go back a level in the manual - to say nothing about the "bookshelf" not having been updated since V1R10 - so I won't! However I tried to find where in the manual it actually said there was a limit of 8 IP address entries when using channel type OSE - and I failed! You might like to use the "reader's comment form" (RCF) technique - use the online references on the "Edition" page near the front - in order to complain that there is no description of a limit to the number of entries in the places one might expect to find such a limit mentioned: I was now going to list the two places I might expect to find the 8 limitation, in the description of the OAT Definition Line for TCP/IP and in the section where the "functional limits" are enumerated, but I noticed something very interesting - and absolutely not documented!!![1] You can certainly ask in an RCF what the "Net_mask" token following the "Home_IP" token might happen all to be about! I could guess that, in some sort of principle, it could be the answer to your question. What if the specification of a "Home_IP" address value *masked* by a "Net_mask" value permits the specification of a *range* of addresses? Intriguing, n'est-ce pas? Looking at your OAT, perhaps 10.203.10.0 255.255.255.0 would cover your 10.203.10.71, 10.203.10.91, 10.203.10.92 and many more adjacent addresses. Note that scanning the PDF of the manual for the characters "Net_mask" reveals this as the only occurrence. Chris Mason [1] I have always wondered - to myself only of course! - whether or not the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea and the possibility to get out into the Baie des Anges in a boat of some sort might have any effect on the diligence applied to the products emanating from La Gaude. It's times like this when I remember that Monpellier also isn't too far away from the Mediterranean! </quote> Incidentally, I wonder if there's a translation for "supercilious" into Polish.
