:> Have not done much VSAM coding, hence the questions. Have an opened ACB in 31 bit storage. Looking at a dump immediately after a successful OPEN for the dataset. TCBDEB points to a DEB where the chain from the DEB to the JFCB is correct(DEB extention to DSAB to SIOT to JFCB)...it's the dataset just opened. At x'14' into the DEBBASIC is a pointer to the ACB, but the field in the DEB is called DEBECBAD. The DEBDCBB field is filled in, but don't recognize what it points to. Are the differences between VSAM and non-VSAM DEB structures and associated control blocks documented somewhere? You can't fit a 31 bit address is a three byte field. I do not kno0w how it translates - does the storage pointed to appear to be an ACB? -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
