I disagree with my friend Rob. Do a D J,*MASTER* and look at the dataspaces, both IBM and vendor. This is a very common, albeit not IBM-approved, technique. If your need to have the CAD persist after termination of the creating address space, anchor it in *MASTER*. If it doesn't need to persist, anchor it in your own address space.
