Thanks for your note, Tom. You are right in saying that my description was not quite accurate.
Member ZZZZ in the copy target does indeed contain an 80-byte record of all blanks. This is still *NOT* the expected data.

This does not show that the member is empty. It shows that it has one record containing 32 spaces. I assume that there are actually 80 bytes and you truncated the display in what you posted. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
