Hi Binyamin, We've jumped back to 1.9 on our sandbox system for now (to test fallback from 1.11), so I'll have to recreate the problem when we're back up on 1.11.
Best as I can remember (and I don't have the output - DUH!), the error message was in the CEEMSG or CEEDUMP DD, but I don't remember the file status. We added a DD statement to the JCL, and it worked fine. It didn't even write to the DD! From reading the Fine Manuals, it appears that I can code DYNAMNBR on the EXEC statements - which seems a better solution than coding individual DDs if I end up having to change the vendor PROCs anyhow. Thanks for the response, and I'll repost when I can recreate. Happy Holidays! Thanks!
