I empathize that you would like to write a novella to explain why it did not work, but then they won't need to call for help so that line could be removed. When faced with a limitation on what you can write out, use the IBM example - write your brief it failed call us mesage, followed by your own internal message id and fields you need to decipher why it failed and explain it when they call. Just look at an IOS* message for an example. And remember it takes time to process all that lengthy code your acs routines will be running through, slowing down your processor from doing real work. >On Tue, 2 Sep 2008 14:51:09 -0400, Lizette Koehler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >wrote: > >> >> According to the DFSMS manual I am only allowed 110 characters. >> > >If it hurts, don't do it. :-) > >What's wrong with something like this: > >WRITE '** DATA SET DOES NOT CONFORM TO SYSTEM STANDARDS.' + > '** CONTACT STORAGE MGMT IF NEEDED' > >They should already know the allocation failed by the IGD* messages. > >Mark >-- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
