For example, if I code my data set name as CL44'whatever', with quotes, why should this be treated any differently from generating the same content with 44 AL1(nnn) statements, and no quotes involved?

Doesn't the "IEF452I SMSNAME - JOB NOT RUN" mean the C/I is failing the job. Regardless, I inserted the IEFBR14 step first, with no DD statements. No step ran, and I got the same IEF452I and IGD316I messages. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
