Most infuriatingly, I learned long ago thatn LISTDSI(ABCXYZ FILE) returns attributes of the FILE as I had intended, but those from the DSCB if it can find one, simply failing if it can't. But as LBD reports, with a distinct return code. Not as useful as it might be. -- 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
