I just did a couple of checks. If I do a native TSO SUB of a member in a VB/259 dataset, I get the message: IKJ56261I RECORD LENGTH OF DATA SET PDS.VBA255 NOT 80, If I use ICEGENER to copy to INTRDR from the same dataset/member, I see a "SKIPPING FOR JOB CARD" in the SYSLOG. ISPF EDIT (which is what SJ used) allocates a "temporary" FB/80 dataset and copies the data from the edit buffer to it (truncating or padding with no messages), then does a TSO SUBMIT command against that "temporary" dataset. -- 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.
