It's dismaying that some programmers are apparently so sophisticated as to code a DCB exit, then choose a bad value. (But I did it in 3350 era; BLKSIZE=6000.)

For a while it made the fault SDB, but it has reverted to propagating; likely because of customer input. -- 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
