The meaning of the message implies that the job step is trying to traverse a unix library but it certainly does not appear that the names refer to a unix directory.I am not so much looking for a solution to they users' problem, more I am looking for advice on where to look to understand these messages. I have seen similar messages before, but the file or directory in question have always been fairly obvious in the message itself.Any advice ?Phil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
