Unless I'm missing something, JCL PARM length has not been changed. It is only BPXBATCH that has been changed to accept more than 100 characters in some cases. EXEC PARM is still restricted to 100 chars. And even if it would (don't start that discussion again, please), it would not help the OP. He wants to pass more than 126 characters to an "MVS" (well Oracle) operator command routine. The interface is MGCRE and or an EMCS console (which then needs to use MGCR) and this interface limits the command to 126 characters. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
