Thanks. I would be interested to know the exact LOAD parameters you think might work. I *am* currently using an open DCB with BLDL and LINK, so LOAD and BALR would not be a huge leap.

Strictly by LINK, probably. But if you use a DDNAME pointed to the file you are interested in, and use the right options on LOAD, you can get what you want in storage. LOAD will return the EPA and you have to work with it via ADDRESS, not via name. Been a long time since I had to deal with this kind of issue.
