The problem with obsolete parameters is that they are obsolete. I've never used KEYRANGES, but (as of 1.4, or earlier) if IDCAMS treats it as it does REPLICATE/IMBED, then you can still specify it and it will be checked for syntax, and ignored. We found this out when a developer used very old control cards to re-create a cluster, and the two latter parms were specified, but the cluster didn't have the attributes, and IDCAMS finished successfully. - 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
