Ok What I'm hearing is that if somebody did code unit=tape3 for example then SMS should have used filtlist tape90, and it should not have been necessary to add tape3 to the Gen?? Help I'm so confused!!!
Thanks John Ps I wonder if the problem is that in the past it was an IBM VTS now we are using STK and the SMC SMS interface?? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.S.

So, SET &UNIT ... is not proper syntax. It is not needed syntax at all: FILTLIST does the work. User can provide any of three values listed, but you check only 'TAPE90' list. BTW: Probably it's working syntax, but could be misleading: TAPE90 is both name of the list and list element. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
