I think that reallocating STEPLIB is not so simple as performing dynamic allocation. I don't really know the details, so perhaps someone with more knowledge will post better information. STEPLIB (or JOBLIB) is allocated and opened at step initiation, and it remains open. In order to change the allocation, I think you would first have to find the DCB and close it. Then you could change the allocation, and open the DCB again. There are products that will dynamically change STEPLIB, and I think that there is one on the CBT Tape too. >Something's funny because I'm sure I converted a clist to rexx 20+ years ago >to loop >through a listcat, pick out the steplibs, and put mine in front.

Maybe you had a Dynamic STEPLIB product. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
