I would hope that if I override "DD DATA" with "DD *" (or vice versa):
o The instream data used is that appearing with the overriding statement, not that appearing with the overridden statement o Overriding "DD *" with "DD DATA" does not spookily expose and activate JCL statement images appearing in the overriden "DD *" (Regardless that some might consider such behavior useful. Likewise, IIRC it's documented that: // SET HOW=DATA // ... //SYSIN DD &HOW ... does not have the effect the programmer might have intended.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
