Check whether you have the right DCBE, etc., for a large volume. I would not recommend messing with DCBFDAD.

The data was not in the order I wanted. My Plan was to find what I want and than move it to a dataspce When I found what I wanted I would mark it with a NOTE (I did have MACRF=RP) however NOTE always returned in R1 X'00000100' no matter where I stopped and when I used POINT and did another READ it pointed me to the first record I am wondering since the POINT (for my BSAM VB) needs a TTR can I convert DCBFDAD to that the comment in DCB says "FULL DISK ADDRESS IN THE FORM OF MBBCCHHR" can I some how get this as input to the Point I would assume HH is the same as track. I guess I would need to know what type of device I am using as that would tell me how many tracks per cylinder Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
