And again, utilities shouldn't mask out characters in SYSPRINT. This should be the responsibility of the printer driver. And if the SYSOUT is directed to a data set or browsed with SDSF there's no rationale whatever for masking them. I have the same problem with IDCAMS. I had to specify a non-default code page merely to get it not to mask lower case characters in comments. 029-think; yuk! -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
