Rob: why do you want to free it ...its not clear why you need to ... If it was allocated dynamically or a file for temporary usage, 'yes' free it , but allocated via a '// DD ' ...odd

"FREE F(INPUTDD)" Where the INPUTDD was //INPUTDD DD DSN=SOME.PDS(MEMBER) and the results were very strange (multiple lines concatenated, seemed to be picking up a prior member in the PDS, corrupted data). I ended up copying the PDS member to a sequential file and the problems went away. I have never had a problem reading a PDS member as a sequential file.. until this occurred. Is there some caveat to reading a PDS member as a sequential file? Is the exception documented? I have been to the manuals, google, various articles on REXX, tutorials etc.. and not found anything to match (even loosely) what was happening.
