Yes, without the double slash, it should work. BTW, despite the fact that the real I/O to read may perform better when reading from the file system instead of from MVS data sets, your applicationobviously needs to ALLOCATE, OPEN, (read), CLOSE, DEALLOCATE for each member. And these operations are probably much more expensive than the mere reads. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
