STEP2 gets RC=0 with SYSUT2 as expected: ********************************* TOP OF DATA ************************************************ Lots of data to fill up a line, followed by a long symbol to see This is a long symbol value. ******************************** BOTTOM OF DATA ********************************************** Why? I have an RCF in (ID service item number 25975) which might incidentally clarify this. It was accepted as a clarification. I asked if I might get a preview, since it's quite a while until the next doc update. The request seems to be bouncing around IBM with considerable finger pointing. Is it possible that the Interpreter is ignoring my "LRECL=222"? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
