>Sure. Here's a similar line lifted from my IEASYM00: >SYMDEF(&IPSUBNET='10.1.1') /* TCP/IP: subnet */ As Kees Vernooij also said, it is possible, but there is one catch: You should look where those symbols are used. For example, if a symbol is to be used as a parmlib member, it CANNOT contains a period. Just be careful with the quotes too... SYSNAME(SYS1) and SYMDEF(&PAGESYM3='LOC&SYSNAME.3') yields LOCSYS13 SYMDEF(&TST='A.B.') [ watch the second period ] and you want to use dataset HILEVELQ.&TST..LOWLVLQ will give you a syntax error. So, for me the answer is both yes and no depending where you want to use a period. Have fun! :-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
