The only problem with this type of solution is that it's not bullet proof. We could obviously put COND=EVEN on the last step just in case the server address space should abend but that does not cover the case where the server may be cancelled by the operator for whatever reason. Not highly likely, but still possible. In that case the repository data would not reflect the actual situation. Jim Mc > > I think the XCF Notepad solution we be similarly not bulletproof. The only bulletproof solution is the SYSDSN ENQ, it will definitely disappear when the task or even its LPAR crashes.
