I didn't see that documented. Perhaps I was in the wrong manual. I tried it and had some problems. Turns out that ISGENQ has some other nice things that I can do which are __documented__. I'm very "into" using only documented, GUPI, stuff any more. Given two ways, which work, to do something, where "this" is undocumented and "that" is documented, I will almost always choose "that". I will also try to use IBM recommended facilities, if there are multiple. In this case, I need to do a SYSTEM or SYSTEMS level ENQ/DEQ based on whether OMVS is running in SYSPLEX(NO) or SYSPLEX(YES) mode. This is easier to do in a documented way using ISGENQ. Also, although I don't use AR mode at present, ISGENQ is documented to work properly in AR mode. May as well program for the future. Even though mine may be short. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
