That is a pretty small allocation for a SYSMDUMP, though it may be adequate for the OP's region size. When I create a SYSMDUMP in batch, and I do it several times a year,, I code (CYL,(300,500),RLSE). DCB parameters need not be specified, as they will be filled in properly by the system. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
