But JCL is oblivious to DISABLE(DSNCHECK). It won't let the programmer create an unconventional DSN without apostrophes nor catalog any DSN within apostrophes. Empirically, I found I couldn't create a DSN starting with a period even within apostrophes. I don't know where this is documented. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
