It is not a limitation for TSO data sets, but for cataloged data sets. I included an explanation of the origin of the limitation in my post http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind1011&L=ibm-main&P=25924 last Friday. Short version: A CVOL catalog was designed to use the structure of a PDS directory, hence the same 8 character limitation. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
