However: "FILE 3" is underreaching. Should also show DSNAME/pathname. HLASM, at least, does this pretty well with its ASMA435I message. Too many other utilities cop out with "PATH NAME ... SPECIFIED." Allocation ought to be enhanced to load that field with (the last?) 44 characters of the path name, and the volser with "UNIXfs".
My suggestion was influenced by "awk" where I read everything in the main data-driven loop and case out filenames. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
