All in the wrist...this may get garbled in listeration. It's in the manual. Default Bounds by dataset type: <---- begin quote -----------> If you do not explicitly set bounds, the editor uses the default bounds. These bounds change as the number mode changes. If you have changed the bounds settings for a data set and would like to revert to the default settings, you can use any BOUNDS command to do so. _Table 2_ (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r12/topic/com.ibm.zos.r12.f54em00/bounds.htm#dfbds) shows the default bounds settings for various types of data sets: Table 2. Default bounds settings for data sets RECFM Data Set Type Number Mode BNDS When LRECL=80 BNDS Using Other LRECL FIXED ASM ON STD 1, 71 1, LRECL-8 OFF 1, 71 1, LRECL COBOL OFF 1, 80 1, LRECL ON STD 1, 72 1, LRECL-8 ON COBOL STD 7, 72 7, LRECL-8 ON COBOL 7, 80 7, LRECL OTHER ON STD 1, 72 1, LRECL-8 OFF 1, 80 1, LRECL VARIABLE ALL ON STD 9, record length N/A OFF 1, record length N/A If the default boundaries are in effect, they are automatically adjusted whenever number mode is turned on or off. If you have changed the bounds from the default settings, they are not affected by the setting of number mode. In a message dated 5/6/2014 1:14:59 P.M.

I've tried "NUMOFF" "BOUNDS = 1,80" but the problem remains that the first six characters of the member I'm trying to edit are always blanked out. I'm guessing the VIEW/EDIT is using them to sequence its working dataset. Not too bad for COBOL source, but a bummer for PL/I or assembler. <------------end quote --------------> Any advice as to how I can get all 80 bytes of the source code? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
