The "-p" is important, but I wouldn't mind an additional DD statement to create the directory. My preference, rather than extending PATHOPTS with a non-POSIX option, would be to have it a suboption of PATHDISP, which is non-POSIX anyway, and notionally similar to DISP. A similar wish for links. Why is there a DD option to create FIFOs, but none to create links? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
