What was wrong with GDG's? Your exit request still has issue. The same one that using SYSTEM SYMBOLS in Batch JCL. Which set do you use: 1. Submitting system? 2. Converting system? 3. Executing system? IBM's choice follows the principle of 'least astonishment'. Unless you have a single image environment, you have an exposure. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
