But today, I can't force the error; junk lines are simply RECEIVEd intact into the SMPPTS. I see no evidence of them in the SYSPRINT from APPLY; my test lines should have caused errors. How would this work for ++MOD elements in RELFILE format. Should I supply the IDENTIFY as input to Binder when I link the ++MOD element so Binder will imbed it in the IDR? Same for ACCEPT into DLIB?
