Hi Tom, In respect of your recent post on the issue of the title, and your last paragraph:
"It clearly says only directories and paths, but I suppose a confirmation that datasets are not supported would be nice. I will try to get that into the next version of the Programming Guide. If anyone has a better suggestion for where this confirmation would go, let me know!" In Chapter 23 "Compiler direction statements" Page 520 contains information about the COPY Statement which states: "When compiling from JCL or TSO, only the first eight characters are used as the identifying name. When compiling with the cob2 command and processing COPY text residing in the Hierarchical File System (HFS), all characters are significant." By implication the restriction information is in the manual so perhaps a cross reference of the two items is all that is required.
