The dsname was the correct length. And the DDNAME was returned. Thus the data was correct. :>>>and upon return from dynalloc I see that the length was set to zero, as if nothing could be returned. The requested dataset is a PDSE. :>For information retrieval text units, the system uses this field to indicate the length of the information it is returning, or to indicate that the information was not available, by setting it to 0.
