Yes, IBM would need o add a new value to TU keys 0005 and 0006. I would say to allow a directory or a link to a directory, but not a special file, which would exclude a pipe.

Allocating that data set requires a priori knowledge of attributes such as DSORG and SPACE which are known only after seeing the prompt: Enter restore parameters or 'DELETE' or 'END' + The input file attributes are: DSORG=PARTITIONED, RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=27920, LRECL... You may enter DSNAME, SPACE, UNIT, VOL, OLD/NEW, or RESTORE/COPY/DELETE/END OUTDD might solve some problems; not thisi one. Should the prompt supply needed optiions and allow escape to command line to ALLOCATE? Should OUTDD be allowed to indicate a UNIX PATH? A pipe to uudecode? A pipe to AMATERSE? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
