Thanks John. It's good to know that the SHARE requirement has not gone the way of the punched card. Even when I was writing my comment, I knew that NOTHING is easy for IBM. I'm sure that somewhere in the IBM universe this simple enhancement request got bogged down under a mountain of managers, lawyers, accountants, or other bureaucrats. I put this in the same category as the request to expand the 100 byte PARM limit -- users want it, implementation should be easy, but it's not going to happen. Why don't you just come clean and admit that you lost the MVS source code in 1992! :-) Clark ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
