Back in the bad old days, IBM showed the expansion immediately after the JCL. Alas, in MVS they chose to show it as a message in a separate JES dataset. Have they moved IEF653I to be inline since then?

In fact, any continuation that splits a data set name can be "a little funky to process." -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
