Thanks for your comments. But as others also asked on various topics, just ask why or getting more background information may reveal an underlying problem. I have believed the OP is struggling with something causing him/her to ask about RDW. >No offence intended, Elardus, but you just did answer in a similar way to my >query yesterday. I clearly stated that I'm curious to understand how OPEN >works. I'm a curious guy. No problem. As you may see in my previous posts, I also say 'wise persons ask questions'. And I am also a curious guy, just like you. If I have insulted you, please accept my apology, but like many IBM-MAIN members, I try to help for free and when I have time. If you don't want me to reply to you, just say so. I will respect it. But you are most welcome to e-mail me offlist. >So you don't consider BSAM a standard way of working with data?

I agree with you. Before I answered the OP, I have looked in my books and SMF assembler source just to be sure I did not give a false reply. Anyways, Peter, thanks for your comments. Please keep it up with your good posts.
