No. You are wrong about that. The STRU R downloads in such a way that record boundries can be determined. I HAVE DONE SO! If you download a RECFM U dataset using STRU R and BINary, then reupload it to a compatibly defined dataset, then the two datasets will be 100% identical, including record boundries. PERIOD. Again, I have done this, so I know for a fact that it works. Now, this does not maintain any PDS directory information, so if that is important, then you are right about it not "working". But if we're talking about a sequential dataset, such as a ADRDSSU dump, then it does work. This is the last I will say about it. IT DOES WORK IN THIS CASE. I HAVE DONE IT. MANY TIMES. YES, I'M YELLING. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
