I would have to try it to be sure, but I don't believe it matters in regards to your concern for totally messing things up.
If IEASYMXY is specified in LOADxx, but not present in parmlib I would expect the following: IEA013E ERROR DETECTED PROCESSING IEASYMxx:... IEA011A RESPECIFY ENTIRE IEASYMXX SUFFIX LIST OR U TO BYPASS If specified in LOADxx and merely present in parmlib with comments I would expect the following without any further problems: IEA009I SYMBOLIC DEFINITIONS WILL BE READ FROM:... I would create a new LOADxx member for trying this out. Note in LOADxx IEASYM suffixes are read from left to right where duplicate definitions override previous definitions. Regards, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick O'Keefe Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 4:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: LOADxx IEASYM parms What happens if the IEASYM parm in LOADxx specifies an used sufix; that is, specifies (00,XY) but IEASYMXY does not exist? Is there just an error message? A WTOR? Something worse? What if IEASYMXY exists but is empty or contains just comments? I've just asked for a new IEASYMxx member, and am trying to determine what damage I might do if I screw up. Thanks.
