Being honest I don't know what SMP/E element types are installed into SAXRREXX, but there are a bunch that do support content in something other than LRECL=80 form. For executables (load modules or program objects), ++PROGRAM. Any of the Data Element types, such as ++DATA, ++UTIN, ++EXEC, etc. all support non-FB-80 content. The trick when building the PTF is to use the GIMDTS service routine to transform the element content into an FB-80 image. SMP/E will then retransform the data back to its original form during the APPLY and ACCEPT. Kurt Quackenbush -- IBM, z/OS SMP/E and z/OSMF Software Management Chuck Norris never uses CHECK when he applies PTFs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
