Jerry, You need to ACTIVATE both your IOCDS and IODF using the same ACTIVATE command.
Use: ACTIVATE ACTIOCDS=A2,IODF=XX,FORCE=(DEVICE,CANDIDATE) -or whatever suits your needs. You must have the IOCDS and IODF with the same token value. Use: D IOS,CONFIG - to display the currently active IOCDS and IODF. Before you can change the IOCDS, both the IOCDS and IODF must have the same token value. If the IOCDS and IODF token values not equal, you can only do software configuration ACTIVATEs. (ACTIVATE IODF=XX) HTH HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

COMPID=SC1XL I am at a complete loss. I use a batch job to build the IODF and IOCDS. I can send the listing from my job offline if you want to take a look at it.
