Not necessarily! This is the output of an obey for a dummy-file which I entered in edit mode: MVS V TCPIP,,O,SYS1.TCPPARMS(OBEY3) EZZ0060I PROCESSING COMMAND: VARY TCPIP,,O,SYS1.TCPPARMS(OBEY3) EZZ0300I OPENED OBEYFILE FILE 'SYS1.TCPPARMS(OBEY3)' EZZ0309I PROFILE PROCESSING BEGINNING FOR 'SYS1.TCPPARMS(OBEY3)' EZZ0310I FILE 'SYS1.TCPPARMS(OBEY3)' CONTAINS NO STATEMENTS EZZ0316I PROFILE PROCESSING COMPLETE FOR FILE 'SYS1.TCPPARMS(OBEY3)' EZZ0053I COMMAND VARY OBEY COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY When I enter my profile in edit mode and do an obey for it, the obey is also executed. Ofcourse I get some errors ( device already started, etc ), but the obey is nicely executed. ( Btw. Thanks Pat O'Keefe for the information that the profile is obeyable ) I did several tests. The obey fails if I try a nonexistent member ( logically ) and if I use a dataset for which TCP/IP is not authorized. -- Maarten Slegtenhorst ----------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION: The information in this electronic mail message is private and confidential, and only intended for the addressee.
