Too simple. LE doesn't issue the C03 abend. It is issued by MVS when the task terminates. Normally, RTM will try to close any data set that is left open when a task ends. If the DCB can not be found, RTM is not able to close it. This is not because "LE stopped doing this." It is because some other change caused the DCB to be released, freed or overlaid. Whatever is causing this to happen could cause other undesirable results. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
