I don't have the answer but I know IBM is not going to be much help. It's not a "defect," it's a "usability issue" and the only way IBM is going to help is by sending over somebody from IBM Global Services at $$$/hour.
Ah, remember SE's?

Most are easily changed and don't really affect how jobs run. However I have two differences that concern me. LPARA (the sending lpar) has INTDATE=ANSI and LPARB (the receiving lpar) has INTDATE=LILIAN. Also LPARA has OPT as the default for TRUNC while LPARB uses STD. I've asked IBM about these but they just quote me sections of the COBOL manuals dealing with the options. They don't say anything about what might happen when I change one value to another. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
