Hi AllI have a Rexx program and here is the relevant snippet: THEMEMBER = THEPDS || "(" || MEMBER || ")" /*say themember */ "alloc shr file(input) dataset(" THEMEMBER ")" "execio * diskr input (stem input. finis)" IF RC \= 0 THEN call DIE 'READ MEMBER failed' RC say member input.0 "LINES READ" "free file(input)" "EXECIO" input.0 "DISKW XXOUT (STEM INPUT." IF RC \= 0 THEN call DIE 'WRITE MEMBER failed' RC Originally, I had "EXECIO * DISKW XXOUT (STEM INPUT." but that would work only for members that had statistics (i.e. have been updated). When I changed the '*' to input.0 it works fine. Is that a normal behavior? (I ran on z/OS 2.2! Ze'ev Atlas
