>This time DC of the dataset was assign as DCSTD >What's wrong ? There is no dcb specified. Go to 3.2 or 3.4 and look at the dataset, or even use LISTD. Likely the DSORG is **, rather than PS. ISPF opens and closes files that are created by it, thereby giving a full dcb. IEFBR14 does not. It's been a long time since I've played with datasets, as such, so I could be wrong. But, when you're creating a file as an experiment, always display all attributes. - Ted MacNEIL [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
