I just did this last week-end. It takes a couple hours to read through the doc and assemble the programs, but it works well. As Rick stated, use BCMSCAN to try to find who's causing the shortage and address it that way first. If it turns out that your broadcast dataset is too small, there are utilities and procedures in File 247 to help you expand it without losing messages. Find a time when you've got relatively low activity though or you'll lose messages while you're expanding and switching broadcast datasets. It sounds like you're already losing messages, so maybe that's not a big concern at this point. Thanks to all the contributors to File 247 !!! You made me look good once again and that's hard to do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
