We are running it in the background, as part of a batch job. BDISPMAX is at the default of 100... I've not tried turning the BDISPMAX value up, as I consistently errors when running the code. I'd like to fix it before turning up BDISPMAX. Things are getting weird. If I execute the following as a batch edit macro: ISREDIT MACRO /* ISREDIT EXCLUDE 'IN FORCE' ALL ISREDIT DELETE ALL NX ISREDIT RESET It fails with (excuse the reflow and wrapping if it screws up): ****************************************************************************** * * * Command in error . : EXCLUDE IN FORCE ALL * * * * Invalid parameter * * Check for misspelled keywords or too many bounds (numeric) parameters. * * * * Error message ID . : ISRE197 * * * * Last return code . : 20 * * * * Macro executing . : EM#MGMLA * * * * Press ENTER key to terminate the macro. * * * * * * * ****************************************************************************** However, if I change the code to ISREDIT MACRO /* ISREDIT EXCLUDE 'ABC123' ALL ISREDIT DELETE ALL NX ISREDIT RESET i.e. No spaces inside the quoted exclude line. It works perfectly! I suspected some oddball maintenance that might have been applied recently, but both exclude commands work perfectly well, as you'd expect them to, when issued as direct commands within an edit session. I do believe I'm starting to lose my marbles. 4 hours looking at perfectly good (simple) code which isn't working as it should! -- Steve Despair - It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
