Juergen As I said in my last reply to Marin, it's garbled. The manual authors have let themselves and us all down yet again!
The relevant description would be better written as the following <improved text> LUNAME|SCAN Specifies that the entire string specified by BUFFER is searched using the characters @ and &[1]. When it detects a @ character, the character strings listed in Table 33 on page 687 are replaced with the appropriate values in the position in the message where the character string occurred. When it detects a &[1] character, MVS system symbols are replaced with the appropriate values in the position in the message where the character string occurred. When using MVS system symbols, an extra &[1] must be prepended to the MVS system symbol in order that the assembler compiler creates the correct output. For example, system symbolic &[1]sysname. must be in the table as &[1]&[1]sysname. for the compiled output to be &[1]sysname.. </improved text> I have improved the grammar slightly and inserted missing ""s. I checked back and found the text has revision bars in the V1R8 edition of the Communications Server IP Resource Definition Reference manual. Under Summary of Changes we also find the following: <quote> TN3270 Enhancements System symbolic support for USS messages for the LUNAME | SCAN parameter, see "USSMSG macroinstruction" in topic 2.9.4.3 ... </quote> Chris Mason [1] That started out as an ampersand character in case the list logic wants to make a meal of it!
